Famous quotes containing the words republic and/or ireland:

    “Absolute virtue is impossible and the republic of forgiveness leads, with implacable logic, to the republic of the guillotine.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    “Come, fix upon me that accusing eye.
    I thirst for accusation. All that was sung.
    All that was said in Ireland is a lie
    Breed out of the contagion of the throng,
    Saving the rhyme rats hear before they die.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
