James Joyce

The actions of men are the best interpreters of their thoughts.

A corpse is meat gone bad. Well and what's cheese? Corpse of milk.

Irresponsibility is part of the pleasure of all art; it is the part the schools cannot recognize.

Shakespeare is the happy hunting ground of all minds that have lost their balance.

Satan, really, is the romantic youth of Jesus re-appearing for a moment.

I think a child should be allowed to take his father's or mother's name at will on coming of age. Paternity is a legal fiction.

No pen, no ink, no table, no room, no time, no quiet, no inclination.

I am tomorrow, or some future day, what I establish today. I am today what I established yesterday or some previous day.
