"The light music
of whisky
falling into
glasses made
an agreeable
interlude.”
"Can't
bring back time.
Like holding
water in
your hand”
"Better
pass boldly
into that
other world,
in the full glory
of some passion,
than fade
and wither
dismally
with age.”
"Life
is too short
to read
a bad book.'”
"They lived
and laughed
and loved
and left.”
"He wanted
to cry quietly
but not for
himself:
for the words,
so beautiful
and sad,
like music.”
"I will not
serve that
in which
I no longer
believe,
whether it
calls itself
my home,
my fatherland,
or my church.”
"History,
Stephen said,
is a nightmare
from which
I am trying
to awake.”
"Longest
way round
is the shortest
way home.”
"Shut
your eyes
and see.”
― James Joyce, born 2nd February 1882
