Famous quotes containing the words irish and/or masters:

    “Irishness is not primarily a question of birth or blood or language; it is the condition of being involved in the Irish situation, and usually of being mauled by it.”
    —Conor Cruise O’Brien (b. 1917)

    “Let our hearts, as subtle masters do,
    Stir up their servants to an act of rage
    And after seem to chide ‘em. This shall make
    Our purpose necessary, and not envious;
    Which so appearing to the common eyes,
    We shall be called purgers, not murderers.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
