Everything in Paris is gay," said Ignatius Gallaher. "They believe in enjoying life
and don't you think they're
right? If you want to enjoy yourself properly you must go to Paris. And, mind you, they've a great feeling for
the Irish there. When they heard I was from Ireland they were ready to eat me, man. ~ James Joyce
Ireland quotes by James Joyce
After the allied victory of 1918, at the end of my father's war, the victors divided up the lands of their former enemies. In the space of just seventeen months, they created the borders of Northern Ireland, Yugoslavia and most of the Middle East. And I have spent my entire career - in Belfast and Sarajevo, in Beirut and Baghdad - watching the people within those borders burn. ~ Robert Fisk
Ireland quotes by Robert Fisk
I don't think you lead by pessimism and cynicism. I think you lead by optimism and enthusiasm and energy. ~ Patricia Ireland
Ireland quotes by Patricia Ireland
He decides it is better to die in Ireland than in Paris because in Ireland the outdoors looks like the outdoors and gravestones are mossy and chipped, and the letters wear down with the wind and the rain so everyone gets forgotten in time, and life flies on. ~ Alison MacLeod
Ireland quotes by Alison MacLeod
Europe was not born in the early Middle Ages. No common identity in 1000 linked Spain to Russia, Ireland to the Byzantine empire (in what is now the Balkans, Greece and Turkey), except the very weak sense of community that linked Christian polities together. There was no common European culture, and certainly not any Europe-wide economy. There was no sign whatsoever that Europe would, in a still rather distant future, develop economically and militarily, so as to be able to dominate the world. Anyone in 1000 looking for future industrialization would have put bets on the economy of Egypt, not of the Rhineland and Low Countries, and that of Lancashire would have seemed like a joke. In politico-military terms, the far south-east and south-west of Europe, Byzantium and al-Andalus (Muslim Spain), provided the dominant states of the Continent, whereas in western Europe the Carolingian experiment (see below, Chapters 16 and 17) had ended with the break-up of Francia (modern France, Belgium and western Germany), the hegemonic polity for the previous four hundred years. The most coherent western state in 1000, southern England, was tiny. In fact, weak political systems dominated most of the Continent at the end of our period, and the active and aggressive political systems of later on in the Middle Ages were hardly visible.

National identities, too, were not widely prominent in 1000, even if one rejects the association between nationalism and modernity made in much contemp ~ Chris Wickham
Ireland quotes by Chris Wickham
I don't think America has ever had a center the way London is the center of England or Dublin is the center of Ireland. ~ Richard Russo
Ireland quotes by Richard Russo
For the young Gaels of Ireland
Are the lads that drive me mad,
For half their words need footnotes
And half their rhymes are bad. ~ Arthur Guiterman
Ireland quotes by Arthur Guiterman
My momma always said the best way to get what you want from people is to give them what they think they want. They expected me to be stupid, so I used that to our advantage. ~ Justina Ireland
Ireland quotes by Justina Ireland
These people in the North-east of Ireland, from old prejudices perhaps more from anything else, from the whole of their past history, would prefer, I believe, to accept the government of a foreign country rather than submit to be governed by honourable gentlemen below the gangway [i.e. the Irish Nationalist Party]. ~ Bonar Law
Ireland quotes by Bonar Law
The smell of the earth, so astoundingly fresh: it strikes Brown like a thing he might eat. His ears throb. His body feels as if it is still moving through the air. He is, he thinks, the first man ever to fly and stand at the exact same time. The war out of the machine. He holds the small bag of letters up in salute. On they come, soldiers, people, the light drizzle of gray.
Ireland.
A beautiful country. A bit savage on a man all the same.
Ireland. ~ Colum McCann
Ireland quotes by Colum McCann
The Ireland I now inhabit is one that these Irish contemporaries have helped to imagine. ~ Seamus Heaney
Ireland quotes by Seamus Heaney
Many nations use language simply to convey information, but it's different in Ireland. With most conversational exchanges you get an 'added extra' like the free little biscuit you sometimes get with a cappuccino in a fancy coffee place. ~ Marian Keyes
Ireland quotes by Marian Keyes
This place was not like the Victorian Prisons of England with their imposing red-brick and neo-gothic architecture that was supposed to impress inmates with the power of the state;no, this place looked cobbled together, shoddy and temporary and the only thing it impressed upon you was how current British policy on Ireland was dominated by short-term thinking. ~ Adrian McKinty
Ireland quotes by Adrian McKinty
The Irish always jest even though they jest with tears. ~ Katharine Tynan
Ireland quotes by Katharine Tynan
In the midst of a hive of customers and clerks, a small boy with blond hair neatly parted on one side stares up into the face of a bronze sculpture. It is Cuchulainn himself---the warrior light. The Hound of Coolan lashed to a boulder with spear drawn. But The Hound is leaning to one side and dying in a public hall of the Dublin Post Office. ~ Laura Treacy Bentley
Ireland quotes by Laura Treacy Bentley
If I knew I could never come back to Ireland, to England, I think I'd fall off the tree. ~ Pierce Brosnan
Ireland quotes by Pierce Brosnan
Books, the children of the brain. ~ Jonathan Swift
Ireland quotes by Jonathan Swift
Any good history begins in strangeness. The past should not be comfortable. The past should not a familar echo of the present, for if it is familar why revist it? The past should be so strange that you wonder how you and people you know and love could come from such a time. ~ Richard White
Ireland quotes by Richard White
I find it very difficult to say no when I'm in Ireland. You do end up going around doing lots of events and things and not getting work done, and it's not just a question of having hours at the desk. ~ Kate Thompson
Ireland quotes by Kate Thompson
TV sounds are all the same; there's no difference between the sound of the wind in Northern Ireland and the wind on a Polynesian island. ~ Ryu Murakami
Ireland quotes by Ryu Murakami
The "hot money" flowed into Europe and today once rich and powerful nations like Ireland, Greece, Italy, and Spain are financial basket cases that may not recover. ~ Robert T. Kiyosaki
Ireland quotes by Robert T. Kiyosaki
In Ireland, it's been like U2 and The Cranberries, which is rock, but you know they're Irish. ~ Caroline Corr
Ireland quotes by Caroline Corr
After a taste of a Scot, you'll never look elsewhere again."
A brunette smiled seductively, "That's quite a boast."
"I'm quite a man. ~ Donna Grant
Ireland quotes by Donna Grant
I know of two tragic histories in the world - that of Ireland, and that of Macedonia. Both of them have been deprived and tormented ~ Roger Casement
Ireland quotes by Roger Casement
O thanks be to the great God I got somebody to give me what I badly wanted to put some heart up into me youve no chances at all inthis place like you used long ago I wish somebody would write me a loveletter ... ~ James Joyce
Ireland quotes by James Joyce
Win or lose the battle, you're on the winning side because you know the Lord." ~ Rowen ~ Jesseca Wheaton
Ireland quotes by Jesseca Wheaton
Life's too short not to have fun with what you wear. ~ Ireland Baldwin
Ireland quotes by Ireland Baldwin
In 1840, the year that Victoria and Albert were married, no woman in the kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland could vote, be elected to parliament or any other public office, attend the university, or enter a profession. If a woman married, her property, her earnings, her children, and her body legally belonged to her husband, to do with as he willed. The world of business was more hostile to women in 1840 than it had been in 1740 or 1640, and though many women were forced to work, a bare handful could make a living wage. ~ Gillian Gill
Ireland quotes by Gillian Gill
Ah, Ireland ... That damnable, delightful country, where everything that is right is the opposite of what it ought to be. ~ Benjamin Disraeli
Ireland quotes by Benjamin Disraeli
Moderation, we find, is an extremely difficult thing to get in this country. ~ Flann O'Brien
Ireland quotes by Flann O'Brien
I'm especially grateful that they're here at a time when the rest of Ireland is focused on the final round of the Six Nations rugby tournament and the last match of the legendary Brian O'Driscoll. ~ Barack Obama
Ireland quotes by Barack Obama
A nation which fails to adequately remember salient points of
its own history, is like a person with Alzheimer's. And that can be a
social disease of a most destructive nature. ~ S.M. Sigerson
Ireland quotes by S.M. Sigerson
Today, Church policy in Ireland is to report allegations of abuse to the civil authorities. It recognises the Gardai and H.S.E. as those with responsibility for investigating such allegations and that any Church investigation should not take place until the investigation by the civil authorities has been completed. ~ Sean Brady
Ireland quotes by Sean Brady
We close the distance between us again and kiss, a deep and greedy one. Ali pulls away after the long hard snog. "Liam, will you show me Ireland sometime?" "Yes." It'll be strange but I've finally realised that coming from the country doesn't define me. It's left its mark but I am my own person. Home is where I choose to make it. In Ali's arms, I've come home. ~ A. Zukowski

Ach, a Dhia, táim tuirseach! ~ Caitlín Maude
Ireland quotes by Caitlín Maude
The English should give Ireland home rule - and reserve the motion picture rights. ~ Will Rogers
Ireland quotes by Will Rogers
It's so tough to get movies made in Ireland anymore. A whole generation of Irish filmmakers doesn't have the resources to get a movie made. ~ Ciaran Hinds
Ireland quotes by Ciaran Hinds
They play at gods,' said Piedar Dooly, and spat. 'French and English alike. Gods out of hell would you say, harrowing green land for their tennis courts and dressing lapdogs in treasure that would keep half Ireland in bread for a year. The heroes of Tara would have put them face to schisty face and used them for millstones. ~ Dorothy Dunnett
Ireland quotes by Dorothy Dunnett
I believe that the Union Flag should change now to reflect the four nations of the United Kingdom - England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales ~ Ian Lucas
Ireland quotes by Ian Lucas
It has puzzled me that men, who claim more and more authority over women, show such fear of those whom they call weak. Perhaps they are hoping that women will come to believe that they need to be protected and dominated, but I cannot imagine any woman being so foolish. ~ Kate Horsley
Ireland quotes by Kate Horsley
Ireland and its people have much to be proud of. Yet every land and its people have moments of shame. Dealing with the failures of our past, as a country, as a Church, or as an individual is never easy. Our struggle to heal the wounds of decades of violence, injury and painful memory in Northern Ireland are more than ample evidence of this. ~ Sean Brady
Ireland quotes by Sean Brady
I've never put Northern Ireland into a novel because it's not my territory. I come from the South, so my imaginative territory is very much the Republic of Ireland rather than the North. Even though, if I wrote a novel about the North, it might sell more. ~ Colm Toibin
Ireland quotes by Colm Toibin
Here's to our wives and girlfriends ... may they never meet! ~ Groucho Marx
Ireland quotes by Groucho Marx
Ireland that has wronged no man, that has injured no land, that has sought no
dominion over others. Ireland is treated today among other nations of the world as if she was a convicted criminal. If it be treason to fight against such an unnatural fate as this, then I am proud to be a rebel and shall cling to my rebellion with the last drop of my blood. ~ Roger Casement
Ireland quotes by Roger Casement
This Irish war, small as it may seem now, will, if it is persisted in, corrupt and eventually ruin not only your army, but your Empire itself. What right has England to torment and demoralise Ireland? ~ Erskine Childers
Ireland quotes by Erskine Childers
Idioms are a big thing in Ireland. They want to fill the time, to show how good they are at talk - it's a talk-off ~ Dylan Moran
Ireland quotes by Dylan Moran
It was a chance encounter with a biotech entrepreneur from Ireland that got me started as an entrepreneur in India, because I partnered this Irish company in setting up India's first biotech company. ~ Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw
Ireland quotes by Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw
If you set your story in Rome, Ireland or Sheboygan, for that matter, go there. If you're broke, set it in the town where you live, or where you grew up. ~ Lynn Flewelling
Ireland quotes by Lynn Flewelling
When the British Empire turned their back on millions of Irish dying during the Great Famine, Muslim nations sent food relief. ~ Fuad Alakbarov
Ireland quotes by Fuad Alakbarov
When asked by a prospective donor how much he should give, the best reply is, "Give until you are proud." ~ Paul Ireland
Ireland quotes by Paul Ireland
They won't break me because the desire for freedom, and the freedom of the Irish people, is in my heart. The day will dawn when all the people of Ireland will have the desire for freedom to show. It is then that we will see the rising of the moon. ~ Bobby Sands
Ireland quotes by Bobby Sands
She noticed then that Conor was watching her.
'Are you going for a swim?' he asked her.
'In a while. Why don't you go down and check if it's warm enough?'
'And if it's not warm enough?'
'We'll still go in. But at least we'll know. ~ Colm Toibin
Ireland quotes by Colm Toibin
I was one of the many kids in Northern Ireland who grew up in the countryside and had an idyllic childhood well away from the Troubles. ~ James Nesbitt
Ireland quotes by James Nesbitt
This morning from a dewy motorway
I saw the new camp for the internees:
A bomb had left a crater of fresh clay
In the roadside, and over in the trees
Machine-gun posts defined a real stockade.
There was that white mist you get on a low ground
And it was deja-vu, some film made
Of Stalag 17, a bad dream with no sound.
Is there a life before death? That's chalked up
In Ballymurphy. Competence with pain,
Coherent miseries, a bite and sup:
we hug our little destiny again.
-Whatever You Say Say Nothing ~ Seamus Heaney
Ireland quotes by Seamus Heaney
Be just before you are generous. ~ James Joyce
Ireland quotes by James Joyce
I went up for the first time when I was 18. It's a great place - I love L.A.; I mean, in Ireland it just rains all the time, it's crap weather, so it's nice to go to L.A. where it's just sunshine every day, and then it's kinda easier to live a kinda healthy lifestyle. ~ Jack Reynor
Ireland quotes by Jack Reynor
Home in Ireland, I went to Collins Barracks and spent some time wandering around, making notes on the various guns, knives and swords. ~ Sarah Rees Brennan
Ireland quotes by Sarah Rees Brennan
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the hottest bitch of all? ~ Sara Humphreys
Ireland quotes by Sara Humphreys
The best thanks we could offer those who went before and raised the Irish working class from their knees was to press forward with determination and enthusiasm towards the ultimate goal of their efforts, a Co-operative Commonwealth for Ireland. ~ James Larkin
Ireland quotes by James Larkin
Sometimes in history the name of God has been invoked on behalf of actions and movements that have ennobled the human soul and lifted the body politic to a higher plane. Take the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., and the American civil rights movement, or Archbishop Desmond Tutu and the struggle against South African apartheid, as examples. Other times religious fervor has been employed for the worst kinds of sectarian and violent purposes. The Ku Klux Klan, the troubles in Northern Ireland, the wars in the former Yugoslavia, and David Koresh's Branch Davidian standoff in Waco, Texas, are frightening examples.

Is there a reliable guide to when we are really hearing the voice of God, or just a self-interested or even quite ungodly voice in the language of heaven? I think there is. Who speaks for God? When the voice of God is invoked on behalf of those who have no voice, it is time to listen. But when the name of God is used to benefit the interests of those who are speaking, it is time to be very careful. ~ Jim Wallis
Ireland quotes by Jim Wallis
I think the Northern Ireland accent is one of the most beautiful in the world. ~ Colum McCann
Ireland quotes by Colum McCann
From my earliest youth I have regarded the connection between Ireland and Great Britain as the curse of the Irish nation, and felt convinced, that while it lasted, this country would never be free or happy. In consequence, I determined to apply all the powers which my individual efforts could move, in order to separate the two countries. ~ Theobald Of Bec
Ireland quotes by Theobald Of Bec
There is more talent per square metre in Ireland than there is anywhere else. We just don't harness or help them ... the radio stations prefer to support the likes of Rihanna and Beyonce. ~ Louis Walsh
Ireland quotes by Louis Walsh
Both sides of my family had come from Ireland in the 19th century for the same reason: There was nothing to eat over there. Since then, I've tried to make up for the potato famine by making the potato the only vegetable that passes these lips. ~ Art Donovan
Ireland quotes by Art Donovan
Left alone in a dark room with a pile of money, the Irish decided what they really wanted to do with it was buy Ireland. From each other. An Irish economist named Morgan Kelly, whose estimates of Irish bank losses have been the most prescient, has made a back-of-the-envelope calculation that puts the property-related losses of all Irish banks at roughly 106 billion euros. (Think $10.6 trillion.) At the rate money flows into the Irish treasury, Irish bank losses alone would absorb every penny of Irish taxes for the next four years. ~ Michael Lewis
Ireland quotes by Michael Lewis
I mean I grew up in Ireland, so one would have to be consciously blinkered not to have reflected on the issue of political violence because that was the story since I was 19 years old or 20. ~ Neil Jordan
Ireland quotes by Neil Jordan
I'm merely reminding you to embrace who you are and surround yourself with people who do the same. ~ Tamara Ireland Stone
Ireland quotes by Tamara Ireland Stone
In Ireland we have a very old saying, When you can see the mountains it's going to rain and when you can't see the mountains it's raining. ~ David Allen
Ireland quotes by David Allen
St. Patrick's Day is a holy day for Roman Catholics in Ireland to pray and a day for drunk people to vomit with their pants down in New Jersey. ~ Margot Leitman
Ireland quotes by Margot Leitman
Can any of us refute the wisdom of Madison and the other framers? Can anyone look at the carnage in Iran, the bloodshed in Northern Ireland or the bombs bursting in Lebanon and yet question the dangers of injecting religious issues into the affairs of state? ~ Barry Goldwater
Ireland quotes by Barry Goldwater
In eighteenth-century Britain, many female friends enjoyed intense relationships, which they celebrated in romantic terms. Some probably compensated for stiff and formal relations with parents by forging close bonds with same-sex friends. In one case, Eleanor Butler and Sarah Ponsonby ran away from their families in Ireland to set up home together in Wales, where they would live in mutual harmony for more than fifty years. Known as the Ladies of Llangollen, they attracted visitors from far and wide who venerated their romantic story with never a hint that the friendship might be anything other than platonic ~ Wendy Moore
Ireland quotes by Wendy Moore
Momma used to say there were lots of ways to survive. Don't e afraid to pretend to be something you aren't, Jane. Some times a little subterfuge and chicanery is in order and the quickest way to achieve one's goal. It ain't hard to imagine Ida pretending to be just another dumb colored girl in order to make it out here. Survival by any means necessary. ~ Justina Ireland
Ireland quotes by Justina Ireland
I was raised in a very old fashioned Ireland where women were reared to be lovely. ~ Anne Enright
Ireland quotes by Anne Enright
One of the most terrible things about the English education System in Ireland is its ruthlessness ... it is cold and mechanical, like the ruthlessness of an immensely powerful engine. A machine vast, complicated ... It grinds night and day; it obeys immutable and predetermined laws; it is as devoid of understanding, of sympathy, of imagination, as is any other piece of machinery that performs an appointed task. Into it is fed all raw human material in Ireland; it seizes upon it inexorably and rends and compresses and remoulds ... ~ Patrick Pearse
Ireland quotes by Patrick Pearse
How many thought does the brain automatically deliver in a single day?"
"Seventy thousand"
"That's right. Do you act on seventy thousand thoughts a day?"
I shake my head.
"Of course you don't. This thought was one in seventy thousand. It's not special ~ Tamara Ireland Stone
Ireland quotes by Tamara Ireland Stone
You and me," Ulrik said. "No friendship has ever been stronger, and there's nothing that will ever tear apart our bond."
Con looked at him, a wide smile in place. "Brothers."
"Brothers. ~ Donna Grant
Ireland quotes by Donna Grant
Just then, Larry recalled a conversation he had with a friend in Ireland, about the situation in Nepal between the King and the Maoists. The friend was sided with the Maoists, which was more or less his political leanings in any case, and stated that at least they were trying to help the people. So Larry had remarked upon the rising death rate, and how the Maoists are just as brutal as the security forces, yet the friend simply shrugged and said you have to expect some collateral damage in a revolution.
Oh how he hates that phrase, as that makes it sound like the people's lives are meant to be expendable, something that a person's life should never be. Of course, it is very easy to disregard people you have never met, and who are certainly not your friends or family members. After all, in the eyes of an outsider, who is in no danger whatsoever, the people caught up in the situation are nothing more than simply statistics. ~ Andrew James Pritchard
Ireland quotes by Andrew James Pritchard
The image of Ireland is projected as a male image in the acting world, similar to the way that the word of Ireland is male dominated. ~ Fionnula Flanagan
Ireland quotes by Fionnula Flanagan
It's better to spend money like there's no tomorrow than to spend tonight like there's no money. ~ P. J. O'Rourke
Ireland quotes by P. J. O'Rourke
Being Irish and a citizen of the world, has made me truly appreciate Irish culture, music and history. Whether you're first, second generation Irish or even with no connection to Ireland, you should visit in 2013 for a unique experience. ~ Liam Neeson
Ireland quotes by Liam Neeson
With a snort, Trevor responded, "A amadáin? It means you fool, but it's really a polite Irish way of calling someone an asshole. Since there are no assholes in Ireland, we don't really have a word for them, so that's what we say."

His expression was so serious, Cassandra couldn't help but burst out laughing. "I'll have to remember that one. I know a few back home."
"A few assholes or Irishmen? ~ Cecilia Aubrey
Ireland quotes by Cecilia Aubrey
If a man who can't count finds a four leaf clover, is he lucky? ~ Stanislaw Lem
Ireland quotes by Stanislaw Lem
I have a tendency to overthink things, especially when it comes to my friends, and I don't know ... I take things too personally. I mean, it isn't always them . Sometimes it's me. I just don't always know when it's them and when it's me, you know? ~ Tamara Ireland Stone
Ireland quotes by Tamara Ireland Stone
I never think about themes. I let the music create itself. I like it to be a potpourri of all kinds of sounds, all kinds of colors, something for everybody, from the farmer in Ireland to the lady who scrubs toilets in Harlem. ~ Michael Jackson
Ireland quotes by Michael Jackson
It is a long way to Ireland, Janet, and I am sorry to send my little friend on such weary travels: but if I can't do better, how is it to be helped? Are you anything akin to me, do you think, Jane?"
I could risk no sort of answer by this time: my heart was still.
"Because, he said, "I sometimes have a queer feeling with regard to you - especially when you are near me, as now: it is as if I had a string somewhere under my left ribs, tightly and inextricably knotted to a similar string situated in the corresponding quarter of your little frame. And if that boisterous channel, and two hundred miles or so of land some broad between us, I am afraid that cord of communion will be snapt; and then I've a nervous notion I should take to bleeding inwardly. As for you, - you'd forget me. ~ Charlotte Bronte
Ireland quotes by Charlotte Bronte
It's a great wonder to me, the Irish attachment to our history. What is it but a series of lamentations? ~ Dorothy Salisbury Davis
Ireland quotes by Dorothy Salisbury Davis
I think Catholicism took root very quickly in Ireland because it's a very superstitious religion, the holy ghost, the holy spirit, it has a goddess, very visual, the music. ~ Conor McPherson
Ireland quotes by Conor McPherson
When people are faced with a choice between the Northern Ireland they have got and the perfect Northern Ireland, they complain. But in the real world that isn't the choice. ~ John Reid
Ireland quotes by John Reid
I think it's safe to say that if you talk to anybody in Ireland, they'll have a passing knowledge of the guitar. It was something that I couldn't get away from when I was younger: guitars played in shops and parties, just everywhere. ~ James Vincent McMorrow
Ireland quotes by James Vincent McMorrow
The pub door swings open when a man enters. A window of moonlit sky and sea illuminates the darkened pub, and a surge of cold ocean air charges its way inside. It's as if Cuchulainn's raging soul had passed through the doorway. ~ Laura Treacy Bentley
Ireland quotes by Laura Treacy Bentley
I have nothing to regret, to retract or take back ... I can only say; God Save Ireland! ~ Edward Condon
Ireland quotes by Edward Condon
The best thing about flying first class ... was that you could be as nutty as a fruitcake and were still treated like the Queen of Sheba. ~ Sarah-Kate Lynch
Ireland quotes by Sarah-Kate Lynch
Growing up in Ireland, there never seemed to be the notion that children should be seen and not heard. We all looked forward to mealtimes when we'd sit around the table and talk about our days. Storytelling and long, rambling conversations were considered good things. ~ Maeve Binchy
Ireland quotes by Maeve Binchy
We don't believe that winning elections and winning any amount of votes will win freedom in Ireland. At the end of the day, it will be the cutting edge of the IRA which will bring freedom. ~ Martin McGuinness
Ireland quotes by Martin McGuinness
You aren't meant to be a prisoner. You're powerful and incredible."
"You've no' seen me in dragon form."
"I don't have to. I see the man before me now. ~ Donna Grant
Ireland quotes by Donna Grant
No Irish nationalist could support any treaty which institutionalizes British government claims to a part of Irish national territory. Indeed, the term - 'constitutional nationalism'- used by Mr.Mallon (SDLP) and his colleagues to describe their political philosophy is a contradiction in terms. The only constitutional nationalist in Ireland today is Sean McBride. He puts his nationalism within a framework of Irish constitutionality. Mr. Mallon, however, puts his within the framework of British constitutionality. Irish nationalism within British constitutionality is a contradiction in terms. ~ Gerry Adams
Ireland quotes by Gerry Adams
I don't think Ireland has ever had a genius for the novel. Of course, there were plenty of Irish novels, but I don't think that was ever the natural means of expression for the Irish. ~ Lady Gregory
Ireland quotes by Lady Gregory
I always loved my mother, felt loved, but she was judgmental. Her father in Ireland didn't approve of women generally, and she took on his values. She believed her own mother was foolish. ~ Julie Walters
Ireland quotes by Julie Walters
The most brilliant satire of all time was 'A Modest Proposal' by Jonathan Swift. You'll notice how everything got straightened out in Ireland within days of that coming out. ~ P. J. O'Rourke
Ireland quotes by P. J. O'Rourke
I did a great deal of research to write 'The Irish Duke.' Since all the people in this Lords of the Realm series are real historical characters, everything had to be authentic. I researched Woburn Abbey, where my heroine lived, and everything about Barons Court in Ireland, which was the ancestral home of Abercorn. ~ Virginia Henley
Ireland quotes by Virginia Henley
