Famous quotes containing the words irish and/or language:

    “Irish Americans are about as Irish as black Americans are African.”
    —Bob Geldof (b. 1954)

    “The “sayings” of a community, its proverbs, are its characteristic comment upon life; they imply its history, suggest its attitude toward the world and its way of accepting life. Such an idiom makes the finest language any writer can have; and he can never get it with a notebook. He himself must be able to think and feel in that speech—it is a gift from heart to heart.”
    —Willa Cather (1873–1947)
