“It will keep the professors busy for centuries arguing over what I meant, and that’s the only way of insuring one’s immortality.” - James Joyce
“The ground-zero here is the utterly mundane, you know, middle class, tormented Irish people, embedded in the detritus of the 20th Century. But there is an effort to never lose the cosmic perspective, never lose the sense that we are not individuals lost in internal time, but the front ends of gene streams that reach back to Africa, that we somehow have all these ancestors and conflicts swarming and storming within us. It’s a glorious psychedelic, heartful, Irish view of what it is to be embedded in the mystery of existence.” - McKenna on Ulysses
