More quotes by James Joyce

Image
Mr Leopold Bloom ate with relish the inner organs of beasts and fowls. He liked thick giblet soup, nutty gizzards, a stuffed roast heart, liverslices fried with crustcrumbs, fried hencods' roes. Most of all he liked grilled mutton kidneys which gave to his palate a fine tang of faintly scented urine.
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
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
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
Beauty, the splendour of truth, is a gracious presence when the imagination contemplates intensely the truth of its own being or the visible world, and the spirit which proceeds out of truth and beauty is the holy spirit of joy. These are realities and these alone give and sustain life.
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
Image
Men are governed by lines of intellect - women: by curves of emotion.
James Joyce
Image
Fall if you will, but rise you must.
James Joyce
Image
I did not know whether I would ever speak to her or not or, if I spoke to her, how I could tell her of my confused adoration. But my body was like a harp and her words and gestures were like fingers running upon the wires.
James Joyce
Image
When I makes tea I makes tea, as old mother Grogan said. And when I makes water I makes water.
James Joyce
Image
I am tomorrow, or some future day, what I establish today. I am today what I established yesterday or some previous day.
James Joyce
Image
Full many a flower is born to blush unseen.
James Joyce
Image
Secrets, silent, stony sit in the dark palaces of both our hearts: secrets weary of their tyranny: tyrants willing to be dethroned.
James Joyce
Image
Each lost soul will be a hell unto itself, the boundless fire raging in its very vitals.
James Joyce
Image
The demand that I make of my reader is that he should devote his whole Life to reading my works.
James Joyce
Image
Thanks be to God we lived so long and did so much good.
James Joyce
Image
Pity is the feeling which arrests the mind in the presence of whatesoever is grave and constant in human sufferings and unites it with the human sufferer.
James Joyce
Image
Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age.
James Joyce
Image
I hear the ruin of all space, shattered glass and toppled masonry, and time one livid final flame.
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
