Famous quotes containing the words irish and/or women:

“I was the rector’s son, born to the anglican order,
Banned for ever from the candles of the Irish poor;
The Chichesters knelt in marble at the end of a transept
With ruffs about their necks, their portion sure.”

“There are always women who will take men on their own terms. If I were a man I wouldn’t bother to change while there are women like that around.”
