James Joyce: His Writing Is Not About

What Is That Unforgettable Line?

The Pendulum Oscillates Between These Two Terms: Suffering-that Opens A Window On The Real And Is The Main Condition Of The Artistic Experience, And Boredom ... That Must Be Considered As The Most Tolerable Because The Most Durable Of Human Evils.

That Passed The Time. It Would Have Passed In Any Case. Yes, But Not So Rapidly.

The Sun Shone, Having No Alternative, On The Nothing New.

I Speak For An Art ... Weary Of Its Puny Exploits, Weary Of Pretending To Be Able, Of Being Able, Of Doing A Little Better The Same Old Thing, Of Going A Little Further Along A Dreary Road.
