Quotation from: A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

Written by: James Joyce


--You say that art must not excite desire, said Lynch. I told you that
one day I wrote my name in pencil on the backside of the Venus of
Praxiteles in the Museum. Was that not desire?


--I speak of normal natures, said Stephen. You also told me that when
you were a boy in that charming carmelite school you ate pieces of
dried cowdung.


Lynch broke again into a whinny of laughter and again rubbed both his
hands over his groins but without taking them from his pockets.
