Ireland Quotes

I have nothing to regret, to retract or take back . . . I can only say; God Save Ireland! Picture Quote #1

In Ireland there’s no such thing as bad weather ~~~ only the wrong clothes. (In the Company of Others) Picture Quote #1

Every publisher or agent I’ve ever met told me the same thing - that Irish readers don’t want to read about the bad old days of the Troubles; neither do the English and Americans - they only want to read about the Ireland of The Quiet Man, when red-haired widows are riding bicycles and everyone else is on a horse Picture Quote #1

My husband was in the war of the Crimea. It is terrible the hardships he went through, to be two months without going into a house, under the snow in trenches. And no food to get, maybe a biscuit in the day. And there was enough food there, he said, to feed all Ireland; but bad management, they could not get it Picture Quote #1

I live in Ireland near the sea, only one mile from where I grew up - that’s good, since I’ve known many of my neighbours for between 50-60 years. Gordon and I play chess every day, and we are both equally bad. We play chatty, over-talkative bad bridge with friends every week Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I didn’t start traveling abroad until I was 17, but I spent many summers on the beaches of Donegal in Ireland Picture Quote #1

Ireland, in breadth, and for wholesomeness and serenity of climate, far surpasses Britain; for the snow scarcely ever lies there above three days: no man makes hay in the summer for winter’s provision, or builds stables for his beasts of burden... the island abounds in milk and honey Picture Quote #1

If Northern Ireland had better weather, it would be like New Zealand. It’s an immensely beautiful country Picture Quote #1

I went to Cork, Ireland, and stood on the dock some of my ancestors had left from. I felt their ghosts gather round me, and I cried to imagine what it must have felt like - leaving that beautiful land and those beloved people, knowing it was forever Picture Quote #1

Yes, but also one of the problems for a novelist in Ireland is the fact that there are no formal manners. I mean some people have beautiful manners but there’s no kind of agreed form of manners Picture Quote #1

I absolutely love Ireland. It’s one of the most beautiful places on Earth, and I have strong ties here. Both my grandmothers are from Ireland, and I have spent every summer in Bantry since my father, who is an artist, had the romantic idea 20 years ago to buy an old farmhouse on the west coast and renovate it Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I don’t buy into the idea that an Irish writer should write about Ireland, or a gay writer should write about being gay Picture Quote #1

In Tasmania, an island the size of Ireland whose primeval forests astonished 19th-century Europeans, an incomprehensible ecological tragedy is being played out Picture Quote #1

Geographically, Ireland is a medium-sized rural island that is slowly but steadily being consumed by sheep Picture Quote #1

On the Northern Ireland question, for instance, the British and Irish governments prohibit media contact with members of the IRA, but we have always gone ahead, believing in the right to information Picture Quote #1

My father was a creature of the archaic world, really. He would have been entirely at home in a Gaelic hill-fort. His side of the family, and the houses I associate with his side of the family, belonged to a traditional rural Ireland Picture Quote #1

Think Indonesia and tourism, and the first thing that comes to mind is probably Bali. Think golf holiday, and most people would dream of Scotland or Ireland. But Indonesia harbors one of the best-kept secrets in the world of travel: it is a golfer’s paradise Picture Quote #1

What I’ve said before, only half in joke, is that everybody in Ireland is famous. Or, maybe better, say everybody is familiar Picture Quote #1

I’ve been on ‘Jay Leno,’ and everyone likes Jay, but being on that show is a really boring afternoon. I sincerely like Jay, but I wouldn’t want his job, because I’d have to interview Kathy Ireland, and there’s nothing there I’d want to know Picture Quote #1

My husband hailed from Dagenham; he’s an Essex boy. Me myself, I come from Derry City in the northwest of Ireland, so we love to get back Picture Quote #1

All these mountains of Irish dead, all these corpses mangled beyond recognition, all these arms, legs, eyes, ears, fingers, toes, hands, all these shivering putrefying bodies and portions of bodies once warm living and tender parts of Irish men and youths - all these horrors in Flanders or the Gallipoli Peninsula, are all items in the price Ireland pays for being part of the British Empire Picture Quote #1

For over 30 years, the IRA showed that the British government could not rule Ireland on its own terms Picture Quote #1

In France, they call the people who come to the theatre ‘les spectateurs’ in Britain and Ireland, they are the audience, the people who listen. This does not mean the French are not interested in language. On the contrary. It actually says more about the undeveloped visual sense over here Picture Quote #1

Whenever I dream of playing a perfect round of golf, which I rarely do more than a dozen times a day, I picture myself on one of my favorite British Open-style links, and in particular the great courses of the west of Ireland, whose holes flow through naturally bunkered dunesland never far from the sight or sound of surf Picture Quote #1

I traveled to Ireland to research ‘Sandcastles,’ to visit the coastline where my ancestors looked toward America, the tiny town they once loved so much, and the docks from which they sailed toward their dreams of building a better life for their family. The answers I found on that journey are woven through the novel Picture Quote #1

My dad came over from Ireland when he was 13 and lived on the streets, working on building sites, and has just retired from his job delivering furniture for John Lewis. My mum has had the same job for 30 years as a sales assistant at Marks and Spencer. They’ve always been really great; they just want me to be happy Picture Quote #1
