Ulysses Grant

Famous quotes containing the words ulysses and/or grant:

“At bottom there is in Joyce a profound hatred for humanity—the scholar’s hatred. One realizes that he has the neurotic’s fear of entering the living world, the world of men and women in which he is powerless to function. He is in revolt not against institutions, but against mankind.... Ulysses is like a vomit spilled by a delicate child whose stomach has been overloaded with sweetmeats.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)

“Therefore I summon age
To grant youth’s heritage,
Life’s struggle having so far reached its term:”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
