"A woman's life revolves in curves of emotion. It is upon lines of intellect that a man's life progresses."
These words appear in Oscar Wilde's play, An Ideal Husband, which was first performed in 1895. At that point, James Joyce was 13 years old!
It would seem that Joyce was just quoting his older compatriot.
