James Joyce

I have not been able to write a line for a long time. I am very tired, and very sad.

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

He is a man who is not a man, but a brute, a beast, a monster.

I am a verb, not a noun.

The past is consumed in the present and the present is living only because it brings forth the future.

I am afraid of life, I am afraid of death, I am afraid of everything.

Love loves to love love.

I am a lonely man, a very lonely man.

The object of the artist is the creation of the beautiful. What the beautiful is is another question.

I have not read the book, but I have read the reviews.

To learn to read in the school of life, to learn to write in the school of death.

I am a great admirer of myself.

The soul is not where it lives but where it loves.

I am not a writer, I am a verbalizer.

The longest way round is the shortest way home.

I am a man of letters, and I live by my wits.

The past is something that you can't get rid of, it's always there.

I am not afraid to make mistakes, I am afraid of not making them.

The artist is a man who is always alone, even when he is with others.

I am not a good man, but I am not a bad man either.
