• James Joyce, Irish author, whose writings feature
  revolutionary innovations in prose techniques. He
  was one of the foremost literary figures of the
  20th century. Joyce is best known for his epic
  novel Ulysses (1922), which uses stream of
  consciousness, a literary technique that attempts
  to portray the natural and sometimes irrational
  flow of thoughts and sensations in a persons
  mind.

?.Dubliners????

• My intention was to write a chapter of the
  moral history of my country and I chose Dublin
  for the scene because that city seemed to be the
  centre of paralysis. I have tried to present it
  to the indifferent public under its four aspects
  childhood, adolescence, maturity, and public
  life. The stories are arranged in this order.
  I have written in for the most part in a style of
  scrupulous meanness....

?. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young
Man??????????

• I will not serve that in which I no longer
  believe whether it call itself home, my
  fatherland or my church and I will try to
  express myself in some mode of life or art as
  freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for
  my defense the only arms I allow myself to use,
  silence, exile, and cunning.
