James Joyce

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

No one who has any self-respect stays in Ireland, but flees afar as though from a country that has undergone the visitation of an angered Jove.
James Joyce
Image
What was after the universe? Nothing. But was there anything round the universe to show where it stopped before the nothing place began?
James Joyce
Image
I am, a stride at a time. A very short space of time through very short time of space.
James Joyce
Image
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
Image
She respected her husband in the same way as she respected the General Post Office, as something large, secure and fixed: and though she knew the small number of his talents she appreciated his abstract value as a male.
James Joyce
Image
Very gratefully, with grateful appreciation, with sincere appreciative gratitude, in appreciatively grateful sincerity of regret, he declined.
James Joyce
Image
The sacred pint alone can unbind the tongue.
James Joyce
Image
It seems to me you do not care what banality a man expresses so long as he expresses it in Irish.
James Joyce
