The collisions of party spirit which originate in speculative opinions or in different views of administrative policy are in their nature transitory. The gang fell asunder and there were no more nightly forays or battles on the rocks. If we would promise we must put ourselves in a position to perform our promise. If formed on equal and just principles, it can not be oppressive.…

Chapter 3 The swift December dusk had come tumbling clownishly after its dull day and, as he stared through the dull square of the window of the schoolroom, he felt his belly crave for its food. He saw the heads of his classmates meekly bent as they wrote in their notebooks the points they were bidden to note, nominal definitions, essential definitions and examples or dates of birth or death, chief works, a favourable and an unfavourable criticism side by side. It leads also to a challenge of…

" "Were they then so many?" "No--only a few. She rose erect on the spot my friend and I had lately quitted, and there was not, in all the long reach of her desire, an inch of her evil that fell short. We cannot expect to make everyone our friend, but we can try to make no one our enemy. Did anyone ever hear such drivel? Lord Almighty! Who ever heard of ivy whining on a wall? Yellow ivy; that was all right.…

--Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, said the prefect of studies. From these I shall endeavor to derive all the advantages which they may afford. The gang made forays into the gardens of old maids or went down to the castle and fought a battle on the shaggy weed-grown rocks, coming home after it weary stragglers with the stale odours of the foreshore in their nostrils and the rank oils of the seawrack upon their hands and in their hair. If our country does not lead the cause of freedom, it…

Yes, yes; his uncle shall have it here from me on the spot (and before the boy himself, if necessary) that if I'm to be reproached with having done nothing again about more school--" "Yes, miss--" my companion pressed me. The result of our having everything out was simply to reduce our situation to the last rigor of its elements. --If you mean speculation, sir, said Stephen, I also am sure that there is no such thing as free thinking inasmuch as all thinking must be bound by its own laws.…

Uncle Charles dozed in a corner of the half furnished uncarpeted room and near him the family portraits leaned against the wall. If we think to regulate printing, thereby to rectify manners, we must regulate all recreation and pastimes, all that is delightful to man. --Damn me, said Mr Dedalus frankly, if I know how you can smoke such villainous awful tobacco. Majority Leader, the Congress and the Executive were capable of working together to produce a budget on which this nation could…

I was silent awhile; we looked at each other. He turned to appease the fierce longings of his heart before which everything else was idle and alien.

--It was a great day for European culture, he said, when you made up your mind to swear in yellow. Our public interest depends on private character, on civic duty and family bonds and basic fairness, on uncounted, unhonored acts of decency which give direction to our freedom. On and on and on and on he strode, far out over the sands, singing wildly to the sea, crying to greet the advent of the life that had cried to him. We may have failed in the discharge of our full duty as citizens of the…

We will meet aggression and bad faith with resolve and strength. A thing like that had been done before by somebody in history, by some great person whose head was in the books of history. Stripped of the lure of profit by which to induce our people to follow their false leadership, they have resorted to exhortations, pleading tearfully for restored confidence. They not only popped out at me as tigers and as Romans, but as Shakespeareans, astronomers, and navigators.…

He could hear them playing in the playgrounds. " Those he liked? I seemed to float not into clearness, but into a darker obscure, and within a minute there had come to me out of my very pity the appalling alarm of his being perhaps innocent. --Are you quite orthodox on that point, Temple? Dixon said suavely. I'll tell McGlade you're not well.

Here today are tens of thousands of our citizens who feel the understandable satisfaction of those who have taken part in democracy and seen their hopes fulfilled. The fact to be in possession of was therefore that his old friend, the youngest of several daughters of a poor country parson, had, at the age of twenty, on taking service for the first time in the schoolroom, come up to London, in trepidation, to answer in person an advertisement that had already placed her in brief correspondence…

He did stand there!--but high up, beyond the lawn and at the very top of the tower to which, on that first morning, little Flora had conducted me. No, if other things as great in the Church, and in the rule of life both economical and political, be not looked into and reformed, we have looked so long upon the blaze that Zuinglius and Calvin hath beaconed up to us, that we are stark blind. They called us all the names in the world. In a word, that this your Order may be exact and not deficient,…

" "I see, I see"--Miles, for that matter, was grand, too. I felt, in a fierce rigor of confidence, that if I stood my ground a minute I should cease--for the time, at least-- to have him to reckon with; and during the minute, accordingly, the thing was as human and hideous as a real interview: hideous just because it WAS human, as human as to have met alone, in the small hours, in a sleeping house, some enemy, some adventurer, some criminal. When he pronounces a soft O he protrudes his full…

One humiliation had succeeded another--the false smiles of the market sellers, the curvetings and oglings of the barmaids with whom his father flirted, the compliments and encouraging words of his father's friends. Her image had passed into his soul for ever and no word had broken the holy silence of his ecstasy. It may well engage the best thought of the statesmen and people of every country, and I cannot but consider it fortunate that it was reserved to the United States to have the…

You cannot discuss this question with your mouth full of chewed fig. Great music! They turned into Lower Mount Street. God and the Blessed Virgin were too far from him: God was too great and stern and the Blessed Virgin too pure and holy. You apprehended it as ONE thing.

It was not a question of my seeking, but was a proposition from the people of Santo Domingo, and which I entertained. In the hall the children who had stayed latest were putting on their things: the party was over. Grose took again, into the queer element I offered her, one of her plunges of submission; then I pointed out that the boat might perfectly be in a small refuge formed by one of the recesses of the pool, an indentation masked, for the hither side, by a projection of the bank and by a…

He held open the heavy hall door and gave his hand as if already to a companion in the spiritual life. If it be desired to know the immediate cause of all this free writing and free speaking, there cannot be assigned a truer than your own mild and free and humane government. By the frame of the Government under which we live this same people have wisely given their public servants but little power for mischief, and have with equal wisdom provided for the return of that little to their own hands…

There was a time when Northerners who sympathized with the negro in his necessary struggle for better conditions sought to give him the suffrage as a protection to enforce its exercise against the prevailing sentiment of the South. Do as she wishes you to do. He closed his eyes, surrendering himself to her, body and mind, conscious of nothing in the world but the dark pressure of her softly parting lips. He wondered whether the scullion's apron was damp too or whether all white things were cold…
