Interpretations of interpretations interpreted. - James Joyce

"Writing in English is the most ingenious torture ever devised for sins committed in previous lives. The English reading public explains the reason why."

"Shut your eyes and see."

"Your battles inspired me - not the obvious material battles but those that were fought and won behind your forehead."

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

"Writing in English is the most ingenious torture ever devised for sins committed in previous lives. The English reading public explains the reason why."
