In the year in which Joyce's works finally come out of copyright, UCD will mark the special period of time from his birthday on February 2nd until Bloomsday on June 16th, with a journey through his quotes. Each day, travel with us as we uncover a new phrase, some familiar, some overlooked. You can also keep up with our updates by following @UCDJamesJoyce on twitter or the #joycequotes hashtag.

I did not know whether I would ever speak to her or not or, if I spoke to her, how I could tell her of my confused adoration. But my body was like a harp and her words and gestures were like fingers running upon the wires
