Quote of the Day (James Joyce, on Secrets)



“Secrets, silent, stony sit in the dark palaces of both our hearts: secrets weary of their tyranny: tyrants willing to be dethroned.” —Irish novelist James Joyce (1882-1941), Ulysses (1922)

A short sentence, as far as Joyce was concerned—but illustrative of the way he loved to play with words.
