Famous quotes containing the words irish and/or language:

    “But Irish had an old soul, you might say. He was a man with a great future behind him, already.”
    —Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    “In a language known to us, we have substituted the opacity of the sounds with the transparence of the ideas. But a language we do not know is a closed place in which the one we love can deceive us, making us, locked outside and convulsed in our impotence, incapable of seeing or preventing anything.”
    —Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
