James Joyce
  • Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age.

  • 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.

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

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

  • I fear those big words which make us so unhappy.
