James Joyce

History is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake.

Writing in English is the most ingenious torture ever devised for sins commited in previous lives.

Mistakes are the portals of discovery.

Mistakes are the portals of discovery.

A man of genius makes no mistakes; his errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery.
James Joyce - "Finnegans Wake"
I call that a scumhead.

Mistakes are the portals of discovery.

Jesus was a bachelor and never lived with a woman. Surely living with a woman is one of the most difficult things a man has to do, and he never did it.

- James Joyce
