Ireland 2000

"Alle sind verwandelt, ganz und gar, eine schreckliche Schönheit kam zur Welt "

William Butler Yeats, Easter 1916 (irischer Osteraufstand)

"Eine Vielzahl kleiner Sünden verbirgt sich in diesen Skizzen des Dubliner Lebens."

"The Manchester Guardian" über James Joyce' "Dubliners"

"There is no such thing as a moral or immoral book. Books are well written or badly written, that is all."

Oscar Wilde

"It is a courageous attempt to give non-Irish readers a true picture of how things are in Northern Ireland."

The New York Review, über "Lies of Silence" von Brian Moore

"Collins wasn't a proponent of terrorism. He developed techniques of guerilla warfare later copied by independence movements around the world, from Mao Tse-Tung in China to Yitzhak Shamir in Israel. He fought the British Empire in Ireland with the only army available to him -- the Irish Volunteers, bands of poorly armed peasants and working-class youths"

"I, Patrick the sinner, a simplest countryman, slightest of all the faithful and scorned of lots..."

Beginn vom Glaubensbekenntnis des Hlg. Patrick von Irland (17.3.)

"Wer durch Irland reist und die Gewohnheiten bzw. die Behausungen der Einheimischen betrachtet, der wird kaum glauben, in einem Land zu sein, das sich zu Gesetz, Religion, Menschlichkeit bekennt. Irlands Landpächtern geht es schlechter als Englands Bettlern."

Jonathan Swift, 1700
