Notable quotes

“Stately, plump Buck Mulligan came from the stairhead, bearing a bowl of lather on which a mirror and a razor lay crossed. A yellow dressinggown, ungirdled, was sustained gently behind him on the mild morning air.”
— First lines, Ch. 1: Telemachus
“I fear those big words, Stephen said, which make us so unhappy.”
— Ch. 2: Nestor
“Bosh! Stephen said rudely. A man of genius makes no mistakes. His errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery.”
— Ch. 9: Scylla and Charybdis
“You know Manningham's story of the burgher's wife who bade Dick Burbage to her bed after she had seen him in Richard III and how Shakespeare, overhearing, without more ado about nothing, took the cow by the horns and, when Burbage came knocking at the gate, answered from the capon's blankets: William the conqueror came before Richard III.”
— Ch. 9: Scylla and Charybdis
“It is as painful perhaps to be awakened from a vision as to be born.”
— Ch. 14: The Oxen of the Sun
“I love flowers Id love to have the whole place swimming in roses God of heaven theres nothing like nature the wild mountains then the sea and the waves rushing then the beautiful country with the fields of oats and wheat and all kinds of things”
— Ch. 18: Penelope; This is a portion of the famous passage often known as "Molly Bloom's Soliloquy" which ends the book. The passage has been used as the basis for the song "The Sensual World" by Kate Bush, and another called "Yes" by Amber.
