More quotes by James Joyce

James Joyce
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
Every life is in many days, day after day. We walk through ourselves, meeting robbers, ghosts, giants, old men, young men, wives, widows, brothers-in-love. But always meeting ourselves.
James Joyce
I am tomorrow, or some future day, what I establish today. I am today what I established yesterday or some previous day.
James Joyce
Deal with him, Hemingway!

James Joyce
When I die Dublin will be written on my heart.
James Joyce
A way a lone a last a loved a long the riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs.
James Joyce
Men are governed by lines of intellect - women: by curves of emotion.
James Joyce
Human society is the embodiment of changeless laws which the whimsicalities and circumstances of men and women involve and overwrap. The realm of literature is the realm of these accidental manners and humours--a spacious realm and the true literary artist concerns himself mainly with them.
James Joyce
White wine is like electricity. Red wine looks and tastes like a liquified beefsteak.
James Joyce
The mouth can be better engaged than with a cylinder of rank weed.
James Joyce
History is that nightmare from which there is no awakening.
