So many of my favorite lines... With such a huge work, it is funny what sticks in the head. I tend to latch onto the rhythm of lines.
I'll get these wrong from memory but:
"A porter bottle stodged to the waist. Island of dreadful thirst."
"To Yoke me as his yoke fellow. our crime our common cause."
(also Proteus -- as is one of my favorite words ever: postprandial)
"Stop your moody brooding."
But then there are those canonical lines: the agonbite of inwit, siopold, and all those first lines of chapters... guh. Divine. I'm about to reread Dubliners and looking forward to it.
"Stephen closed his eyes to hear his boots crush crackling wrack and shells"
yummy language
