I like my human experience served up with a little silence and restraint. Silence makes experience go further and, when it does die, gives it that dignity common to a thing one had touched and not ravished.

~ Djuna Barnes

“The pity is the public will demand and find a moral in my book—or worse they may take it in some more serious way, and on the honor of a gentleman, there is not one single serious line in it.”
—James Joyce, born #OTD in 1882 (interviewed and drawn by Djuna Barnes, 1922) #JamesJoyce #DjunaBarnes #Ulysses
