This is by far the most freakishly difficult book I have ever read. James Joyce excepts readers to be as familiar with his favorite Dublin lamppost as with a 4th-century heresiarch bishop's death on a toilet à la Elvis.

Reading Ulysses is the most mentally exhausting thing I have ever done.

At least Emily Dickinson is polite enough to keep it brief.

Easily the second-best Odyssey adaptation this fiscal quarter

"Do you know that centuries will pass and mankind will proclaim with the mouth of its wisdom and science that there is no crime, and therefore no sin, but only hungry men? 'Feed them first, then ask virtue of them!'... No science will give them bread as long as long as they remain free, but in the end they will lay their freedom at our feet and say to us: 'Better than you enslave us, but feed us.'"

Peak as always

I can't wait to read about how Napoleon reverses the defeat at Leipzig and reclaims Europe 😀😀😀

"The bill of rights is more properly a bill of wrongs"

"I will now, by way of relaxation, turn a thought or two to Mr Burke. I ask his pardon for neglecting him so long."

"Having thus paid Mr Burke the compliment of remembering him, I return to the subject."

Absolute sass from Tommy Paine

"There is scarcely an epithet of abuse to be found in the English language, which Mr Burke has not loaded the National Assembly. Everything which rancour, prejudice, ignorance, or knowledge could suggest, are poured forth in the copious fury of near four hundred pages."

Absolutely fire diss from Tommy P

Really all of the first two paragraphs are wild but character limits exist :(

Currently Luigi Mangione-maxxing

White Nights really did not have to mess me up like that 😭
