"Irresponsibility is part of the pleasure of all art; it is the part the schools cannot recognize." ― James Joyce Topic(s): Art More From James Joyce "The actions of men are the best interpreters of their thoughts." "Poetry, even when apparently most fantastic, is always a revolt against artifice, a revolt, in a sense, against actuality." "I think a child should be allowed to take his father’s or mother’s name at will on coming of age. Paternity is a legal fiction."
