― James Joyce, The Dead

“Everything in the world displeases me: but, above all, my displeasure in everything displeases me.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche

“French intellectual life has, in my opinion, been turned into something cheap and meretricious by the 'star' system. It is like Hollywood. Thus we go from one absurdity to another - Stalinism, existentialism. Lacan, Derrida - some of them obscene ( Stalinism), some simply infantile and ridiculous ( Lacan, Derrida). What is striking, however, is the pomposity and self-importance, at each stage.”
― Noam Chomsky

“You find my words dark. Darkness is in our souls, do you not think?”
― James Joyce, Ulysses
