The supreme question about a work of art is out of how deep a life does it spring.
James Joyce
Image
When the soul of a man is born in this country there are nets flown at it to hold it back from flight.
James Joyce
Image
If Ireland is to become a new Ireland she must first become European.
James Joyce
Image
What incensed him the most was the blatant jokes of the ones that passed it all off as a jest, pretending to understand everything and in reality not knowing their own minds.
James Joyce
Image
You made me confess the fears that I have. But I will tell you also what I do not fear. I do not fear to be alone or to be spurned for another or to leave whatever I have to leave. And I am not afraid to make a mistake, even a great mistake, a lifelong mistake and perhaps as long as eternity too.
James Joyce

In the particular is contained the universal.
James Joyce
Image
When I makes tea I makes tea, as old mother Grogan said. And when I makes water I makes water.

Ask no questions and you'll hear no lies.

Jesus was a bachelor and never lived with a woman. Surely living with a woman is one of the most difficult things a man has to do, and he never did it.
James Joyce
Image
You cannot eat your cake and have it.
James Joyce

Our souls, shamewounded by our sins, cling to us yet more, a woman to her lover clinging, the more the more. She trusts me, her hand gentle, the longlashed eyes. Now where the blue hell am I bringing her beyond the veil? Into the ineluctable modality of the ineluctable visuality. She, she, she. What she?
James Joyce
Image
The studious silence of the library ... Thought is the thought of thought. Tranquil brightness.
James Joyce
Image
For myself, I always write about Dublin, because if I can get to the heart of Dublin I can get to the heart of all the cities of the world. In the particular is contained the universal.
James Joyce
Image
I could call my wandering thoughts together. I had hardly any patience with the serious work of life which, now that it stood between me and my desire, seemed to me child's play, ugly monotonous child's play.
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
And if he had judged her harshly? If her life were a simple rosary of hours, her life simple and strange as a bird's life, gay in the morning, restless all day, tired at sundown? Her heart simple and willful as a bird's heart?

...rapid motion through space elates one.

As you are now so once were we.
