Quotes

  • "I always say that a man with one language is like a man with one eye."
  • "They are angry men with vision, Brother, and by God their anger is justified. Ireland has not much longer to suffer. Her misery will soon be over and we'll be a united country again." "Yes," said Brother Sebastian, "but I don't like their methods." "Nor do I, Brother. Nor do I. But do you like the methods of the British Government any better?"
  • "There's not much money - if that's what you mean." "Approximately." "Once all the debts are paid there will be very little." "Nevertheless. Every little helps. The Brothers are sorely in need of it this weather."
  • "What we run here, Brother, is a finishing school for the sons of the Idle Poor." "It finishes them all right."
  • "Bitter?" said the barmaid and he nodded. What a strange thing to call a drink. Bitter. Aloes. Sorrow. For something that was supposed to make you feel happy.
  • "It's a bad day when the biggest thing you catch is a seagull."
