Quote by James Joyce (1882-1941)

• Mistakes are the portals of discovery.

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

• 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.

• I am also sure that there is no such thing as free- thinking in as much as all thinking must be must be bound by its own laws.

• I call that a scumhead.

• A man of genius makes no mistakes; his errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery.
