Updated: James Joyce Quotes

I've been slowly making my way through Ulysses, a process that has already taken several years.  As I go, I've been writing down my favorite quotes, of which there are many.  Here's an updated list:

–Oh, my name for you is the best: Kinch, the knifeblade.

–Lend us a loan of your noserag to wipe my razor.

–The snotgreen sea.  The scrotumtightening sea.

–It is a symbol of Irish art.  The cracked lookingglass of a servant.

–The Sassenach wants his morning rashers.

–Dedalus, come down, like a good mosey.

Since high school I've maintained a collection of famous quotes.  It's the same reason I'm so into photography; when I see something beautiful, I want to hold on to it forever.  If it's an image, I take a picture.  If it's a beautiful phrase, I write it down.

I've kept this collection on my computer and have only shared it with a few people over the years.  I finally decided to put it online.  You can thank Ben Jonas and James Joyce.

Quote for the New Year

koppie — Thu, 10/09/2008 - 17:02

"All the world before us is a very narrow bridge, and the main thing is not to fear at all."

--Rabbi Nachman of Bratzlav

Found this in the Kol Nidre prayer book and it jumped out at me.  If you like it took, here are a few desktop backgrounds so you can take it with you, along with my other Jewish photos (one for Rosh Hashanah and a few for Hanukah).
[cpg_albumnew:114]
The backgrounds are only one size and they're meant for a widescreen monitor because that's what I have.  If you want something else, just ask.

And Happy Jewish New Year.

I am a lawyer but this is not legal advice. If you choose to rely on my opinions, you do so at your own detriment. If you need legal help, hire an attorney. (If you want to hire me, contact me and we can negotiate representation.) I used to work for the District Attorney's office but my opinions are my own and are not meant to represent the policy or position of anyone else.
