“A man who swears
before the world to love a woman till death part him and her is sane
neither in the opinion of the philosopher who understands what
mutability is nor in the opinion of the man of the world who
understands that it is safer to be a witness than an actor in such
affairs. A man who swears to do something which it is not in his power
to do is not accounted a sane man.”

“[Stephen Dedalus] Entraba y salía de interminables capillas en las que algún anciano dormitaba, algún empleado limpiaba el polvo o alguna mujer se arrodillaba. Mientras caminaba a paso lento por el laberinto de calles, devolvía con orgullo las miradas de tonta maravilla que recibía y observaba de soslayo los grandes torsos vacunos de los policías que se volvían para analizarlo una vez los había pasado. Estos vagabundeos endurecían las raíces de su ira ya bien arraigada, y cada vez que se topaba con un grueso cura sudado bajo sus ropas negras haciendo su ronda matinal por esas colmenas de piadosos reptantes para atestiguar la estabilidad de su parálisis, maldecía con ira la farsa del Catolicismo, la farsa de su isla: una isla donde los habitantes confían y venden su espíritu al mejor postor, una isla en la que todo el poder y la riqueza están en manos de los guardianes de las llaves del otro mundo, una isla en la que César confiesa a Cristo y Cristo confiesa a César, engordando ambos de la mano su tripa y su bolsillo como puercos a costa del hambre de una plebe a la que consuela fácilmente con palabras y frases vulgares como: el Reino de Dios está en cada uno de vosotros.”
