James Joyce Eternity Quotations

You made me confess the fears that I have. But I will tell you also what I do not fear. I do not fear to be alone or to be spurned for another or to leave whatever I have to leave. And I am not afraid to make a mistake, even a great mistake, a lifelong mistake and perhaps as long as eternity too.

Time's ruins build eternity's mansions.

O, dread and dire word. Eternity! What mind of man can understand it?
