Famous quotes containing the words irish and/or famine:

    The Irish are the only men who know how to cry for the dirty polluted blood of all the world.
    Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

    I knew the poor,
    I knew the hideous death they die,
    when famine lays its bleak hand on the door;
    I knew the rich,
    sated with merriment,
    who yet are sad.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
