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
We are all born in the same way but we all die in different ways.
James Joyce
Image
A dim antagonism gathered force within him and darkened his mind as a cloud against her disloyalty: and when it passed, cloudlike, leaving his mind serene and dutiful towards her again, he was made aware dimly and without regret of a first noiseless sundering of their lives.
James Joyce
Image
No pen, no ink, no table, no room, no time, no quiet, no inclination.
James Joyce
Image
Men are governed by lines of intellect - women: by curves of emotion.
James Joyce
Image
You forget that the kingdom of heaven suffers violence: and the kingdom of heaven is like a woman.
James Joyce
Image
But my body was like a harp and her words and gestures were like fingers running upon the wires.
James Joyce

O, dread and dire word. Eternity! What mind of man can understand it?
James Joyce
Image
Nations have their ego, just like individuals.
James Joyce
Image
She would follow, her dream of love, the dictates of her heart that told her he was her all in all, the only man in all the world for her for love was the master guide. Come what might she would be wild, untrammelled, free.
James Joyce
Image
I am a worker, a tombstone mason, anxious to pleace averyburies and jully glad when Christmas comes his once ayear.
James Joyce
Image
When I heard the word ''stream'' uttered with such a revolting primness, what I think of is urine and not the contemporary novel. And besides, it isn't new, it is far from the dernier cri. Shakespeare used it continually, much too much in my opinion, and there's Tristam Shandy, not to mention the Agamemnon.
James Joyce
Image
[A writer is] a priest of eternal imagination, transmuting the daily bread of experience into the radiant body of everliving life.
James Joyce
Image
He passes, struck by the stare of truculent Wellington but in the convex mirror grin unstruck the bonham eyes and fatchuck cheekchops of Jollypoldy the rixdix doldy.

Deal with him, Hemingway!
