BOOK STARTERS VOL.44 DUBLINERS JAMES JOYCE
- ❛ Yet your name is like a summons to all my foolish blood. ❜
- ❛ Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age. ❜
- ❛ You live a short distance from your body. ❜
- ❛ Too excited to be genuinely happy. ❜
- ❛ I want real adventures to happen to myself. ❜
- ❛ Gazing up into the darkness I see myself as a creature driven and derided by vanity; and my eyes burn with anguish and anger. ❜
- ❛ In your eyes I will ascent to an angelical stature. ❜
- ❛ We cannot give ourselves: we are our own. ❜
- ❛ No one would think he’d make such a beautiful corpse. ❜
- ❛ Every bond, is a bond to sorrow. ❜
- ❛ There is no doubt about it: if you want to succeed you have to go away. ❜
- ❛ It fills me with fear, and yet I long to be nearer to it. ❜
- ❛ I wish you and yours every joy in life, and tons of money, and may you never die till I shoot you. ❜
- ❛ There’s no friends like the old friends. ❜
- ❛ I feel that I have been outcast from life’s feast. ❜
- ❛ Why is it that words like these seem to me so dull and cold? Is it because there is no word tender enough to be your name? ❜
- ❛ I remember well your eyes, the touch of your hand and my delirium. ❜
- ❛ My life will be lonely too until I, too, die, cease to exist, become a memory - if anyone remembers me. ❜
- ❛ Drew the blankets over my head and tried to think of Christmas. ❜
- ❛ In my heart I always despised him a little. ❜
- ❛ All the seas of the world tumble about my heart. You are drawing me into them: you will drown me. ❜
- ❛ Then I remembered what I had been waiting for. ❜
- ❛ Every place is immoral. ❜
- ❛ If it’s not your business it’s my business and I mean to see to it. ❜
- ❛ I won’t be fooled. ❜
- ❛ I could hear nothing: the night was perfectly silent. I listened again: perfectly silent. ❜
- ❛ After three weeks she found a wife’s life irksome and, later on, when she was beginning to find it unbearable, she had become a mother. ❜
- ❛ There was a heavy odour in the room – the flowers. ❜
- ❛ Real adventures do not happen to people who remain at home: they must be sought abroad. ❜
- ❛ My body is like a harp and your words and gestures are like fingers running upon the wires. ❜
