Famous quotes containing the words irish and/or whisky:
“The Irish are often nervous about having the appropriate face for the occasion. They have to be happy at weddings, which is a strain, so they get depressed; they have to be sad at funerals, which is easy, so they get happy.”
—Peggy Noonan (b. 1950)
“The whisky on your breath
Could make a small boy dizzy;
But I hung on like death;
Such waltzing was not easy.”
