‘Do you believe your own theory? / No, Stephen said promptly. [...] I believe, O Lord, help my unbelief. That is, help me to believe or help me to unbelieve? Who helps to believe? Egomen. Who to unbelieve. Other chap.’ (“Scylla & Charybdis”, Ulysses, 213-14; quoted in Hélène Cixous, ‘Joyce: the (r)use of writing’, in Post-structuralist Joyce: Essays from the French, ed. Derek Attridge & Daniel Ferrer (Cambridge UP 1984), pp.15-30.

‘I cannot begin to give you the flavour of the old Austrian Empire. It was a ramshackle affair but it was charming, gay, and I experienced more kindnesses in Trieste than ever before or since in my life.’ (Quoted in Paper Call for the Trieste Joyce School, 27 June-3 July 2010.)
