Para aqueles a quem a literatura
e a escrita interessam, duas citações de Richard Ellmann na sua biografia de
James Joyce:
“Which would you say was the greater power in
holding people together, complete faith or doubt? Laubenstein plumped por faith,
but Joyce was firm, ‘No, doubt is the thing. Life is suspended in doubt like the world in the void.”
… “Joyce’s great emphasis was upon the flow of
the line, and sometimes he astonished them (as later, when he was helping Nino
Frank with the Italian translation, he astonished him), by caring more for sound and rhythm than sense.”
