Famous quotes containing the words irish and/or language:

    Conor Cruise O’Brien (b. 1917)

    The angels are so enamored of the language that is spoken in heaven, that they will not distort their lips with the hissing and unmusical dialects of men, but speak their own, whether there be any who understand it or not.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
