James Joyce
Secrets, silent, stony sit in the dark palaces of both our hearts: secrets weary of their tyranny: tyrants willing to be dethroned.
James Joyce
And Jesus was a Jew too. Your god. He was a Jew like me. And so was his father.
James Joyce

James Joyce
Ask no questions and you'll hear no lies.
James Joyce

James Joyce
It seems to me you do not care what banality a man expresses so long as he expresses it in Irish.
James Joyce

James Joyce
[A writer is] a priest of eternal imagination, transmuting the daily bread of experience into the radiant body of everliving life.
James Joyce
There is not past, no future everything flows in an eternal present.
James Joyce
[Robinson Crusoe] is the true prototype of the British colonist. The whole Anglo-Saxon spirit is in Crusoe: the manly independence, the unconscious cruelty, the persistence, the slow yet efficient intelligence, the sexual apathy, the calculating taciturnity.
James Joyce
We are all born in the same way but we all die in different ways.
James Joyce
