Early & Private Life
Jim Ware was born in Cork in 1908. He was born into a family that would later go on to have great success at the game of hurling. Jim, Charlie, Jack and Murty Ware all had great success with their club, however, Jim and Charlie were the only two that had success at inter-county level. Ware’s family moved to Waterford when he was still a young boy. He was educated there at the De La Salle school, a virtual academy for young hurlers. Ware later worked as a bookbinder in Harvey’s shop in Waterford. He was married to Alice O’Donnell, a poet and playwright.

Famous quotes containing the words private life, early, private and/or life:
“I do not remember anything which Confucius has said directly respecting man’s “origin, purpose, and destiny.” He was more practical than that. He is full of wisdom applied to human relations,—to the private life,—the family,—government, etc. It is remarkable that, according to his own account, the sum and substance of his teaching is, as you know, to do as you would be done by.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“For the writer, there is nothing quite like having someone say that he or she understands, that you have reached them and affected them with what you have written. It is the feeling early humans must have experienced when the firelight first overcame the darkness of the cave. It is the communal cooking pot, the Street, all over again. It is our need to know we are not alone.”
—Virginia Hamilton (b. 1936)
“The issue is privacy. Why is the decision by a woman to sleep with a man she has just met in a bar a private one, and the decision to sleep with the same man for $100 subject to criminal penalties?”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“Dear, I know nothing of
Either, but when I try to imagine a faultless love
Or the life to come, what I hear is the murmur
Of underground streams, what I see is a limestone landscape.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
