Work
Sophia Morrison devoted her life to the preservation of Manx culture in all of its forms, which she recognised to be under threat at that time. Much of her energies went into recording and preserving parts of that culture, but she was also highly influential in motivating others to take note of, reclaim, define or extend their shared culture. This found its expression in the collection of folklore, language and music and in her remarkable role in enthusing others in appreciating all things Manx.

—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
“Nearly all our powerful men in this age of the world are unbelievers; the best of them in doubt and misery; the worst of them in reckless defiance; the plurality in plodding hesitation, doing, as well as they can, what practical work lies ready to their hands.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
“Only an idiot would ask Wolfie to work on that stuff—twelve foot snakes, magic flutes.”
