More From James Joyce
- "Love between man and man is impossible because there must not be sexual intercourse and friendship between man and woman is impossible because there must be sexual intercourse."
- "Poetry, even when apparently most fantastic, is always a revolt against artifice, a revolt, in a sense, against actuality."
- "Men are governed by lines of intellect – women: by curves of emotion."
More In Home
- "The best thing that ever happened to me is that nothing happened in writing. I ended up working for engineering companies, and that’s where I found my material, in the everyday struggle between capitalism and grace. Being broke and tired, you don’t come home your best self."― George Saunders
- "The only place I’ve felt was really my home is my cabin up north. There’s something in the water there that connects me to that place. There’s also this sense of isolation and loneliness about it that I’ve never been able to shake."― Jessica Lange
- "I tour alone. There’s no sound check, no back up. I stay with the hosts; I am in a family home and it’s really nourishing. I just have to remember after the show not to run out into the living room in my pyjamas. Every day, it’s a new relationship being built. It’s odd and wonderful."― Jane Siberry
