Uns sobre outros: "When I first met Joyce, I didn't intend to be a writer. That only came later when I found out I was no good at all at teaching. When I found I simply couldn't teach. But I do remember speaking about Joyce's heroic achievement. I had a great admiration for him. That's what it was: epic, heroic, what he achieved. I realized that I couldn't go down that same road." Samuel Beckett ao editor James Knowlson, fundador do JOBS (Journal of Beckett Studies), sobre James Joyce.
