More quotes by James Joyce

Image
He lived at a little distance from his body, regarding his own acts with doubtful side-glances. He had an odd autobiographical habit which led him to compose in his mind from time to time a short sentence about himself containing a subject in the third person and a verb in the past tense.
James Joyce
Image

James Joyce
Image
By an epiphany he meant a sudden spiritual manifestation, whether in the vulgarity of speech or of gesture or memorable phrase of the mind itself.

Full many a flower is born to blush unseen.
James Joyce
Image
All things are inconstant except the faith in the soul, which changes all things and fills their inconstancy with light.
James Joyce
Image
I think a child should be allowed to take his father's or mother's name at will on coming of age. Paternity is a legal fiction.
James Joyce

There's no police like Holmes.
James Joyce
Image
A man's errors are his portals of discovery.
James Joyce
Image
His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead.
James Joyce
Image
When one reads these strange pages of one long gone one feels that one is at one with one who once.
James Joyce

Men are governed by lines of intellect - women: by curves of emotion.

One of the things I could never get accustomed to in my youth was the difference I found between life and literature.
