Do I contradict myself? Very well, then, I contradict myself.

Interesting, also, that Joyce lifted this from Walt Whitman:

Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
(I am large, I contain multitudes.)

--Song of Myself, verse 51, lines 1324-26

Hmmm...are we discovering a pattern here?...in the "Greatest Novel of the 20th Century" yet!?
