Additional quotes by James Joyce

You behold in me, Stephen said with grim displeasure, a horrible example of free thought.

The sly reeds whisper to the night
A name — her name —

If anyone thinks that I amn't divine
He'll get no free drinks when I'm making the wine
But have to drink water and wish it were plain
That I make when the wine becomes water again.

My mouth is full of decayed teeth and my soul of decayed ambitions. - James Joyce
