After the magical act accomplished by Joyce with Ulysses, perhaps we are getting away from it.
Raymond Queneau
Chuck Norris doesn't need to understand the work of James Joyce; James Joyce needs to understand the work of Chuck Norris.
Brian Celio
For me, it's all about The Dubliners by James Joyce. I love The Dead.
Evan Dando
History, sociology, economics, psychology et al. confirmed Joyce's view of Everyman as victim.
Robert Anton Wilson
I felt Joyce was an influence on my fiction, but in a very general way, as a kind of inspiration and a model for the beauty of language.
Don DeLillo
I'm not one of those James Joyce intellectuals who can stand back and look at the whole edifice... It was a slow process for me to just crawl out of it, like a snake leaving his skin behind.
Frank McCourt
James Joyce - an essentially private man who wished his total indifference to public notice to be universally recognized.
Tom Stoppard
James Joyce was a synthesizer, trying to bring in as much as he could. I am an analyzer, trying to leave out as much as I can.
Samuel Beckett
Joyce for all his devotion to his art, terrible in its austerity, was a lad born with a song on one side of him, a dance on the other; two gay guardian angels every human ought to have.
Sean O'Casey
Joyce is a poet and also an elephantine pedant.
George Orwell
Mr. James Joyce is a great man who is entirely without taste.
Rebecca West
Shakespeare said pretty well everything and what he left out, James Joyce, with a judge from meself, put in.
Brendan Behan
You should approach Joyce's Ulysses as the illiterate Baptist preacher approaches the Old Testament: with faith.
William Faulkner
