Famous quotes containing the word irish:

    We Irish are too poetical to be poets; we are a nation of brilliant failures, but we are the greatest talkers since the Greeks.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    But Irish had an old soul, you might say. He was a man with a great future behind him, already.
    Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    The Irish are often nervous about having the appropriate face for the occasion. They have to be happy at weddings, which is a strain, so they get depressed; they have to be sad at funerals, which is easy, so they get happy.
    Peggy Noonan (b. 1950)
