James Joyce

Ask no questions and you'll hear no lies.
James Joyce

I shall write a book some day about the appropriateness of names. Geoffrey Chaucer has a ribald ring, as is proper and correct, and Alexander Pope was inevitably Alexander Pope. Colley Cibber was a silly little man without much elegance and Shelley was very Percy and very Bysshe.

Christopher Columbus, as everyone knows, is honored by posterity because he was the last to discover America.
James Joyce
Image
We were always loyal to lost causes...Success for us is the death of the intellect and of the imagination. ~ Professor MacHugh

Love between man and man is impossible because there must not be sexual intercourse and friendship between man and woman is impossible because there must be sexual intercourse.
James Joyce
