Quotes

As he crossed Grattan Bridge he looked down the river towards the lower quays and pitied the poor stunted houses. They seemed to him a band of tramps, huddled together along the riverbanks, their old coats covered with dust and soot, stupefied by the panorama of sunset and waiting for the first chill of night bid them arise, shake themselves and begone. James Joyce
It pained him that he did not know well what politics meant and that he did not know where the universe ended. He felt small and weak. When would he be like the fellows in poetry and rhetoric? They had big voices and big boots and they studied trigonometry. James Joyce

A warm human plumpness settled down on his brain. His brain yielded. Perfume of embraces all him assailed. With hungered flesh obscurely, he mutely craved to adore. James Joyce

and with that he took the bloody old towser by the scruff of the neck and by Jesus he near throttled him. James Joyce
James Joyce quote: "He found trivial all that was meant to charm him and did not..."
He found trivial all that was meant to charm him and did not answer the glances which invited him to be bold. James Joyce
