John Millington Synge

• "Every article on these islands has an almost personal character, which gives this simple life, where all art is unknown, something of the artistic beauty of medieval life.“
• "The general knowledge of time on the island depends, curiously enough, on the direction of the wind.“
• "It is the timber of poetry that wears most surely, and there is no timber that has not strong roots among the clay and worms.“
• "There is no language like the Irish for soothing and quieting.“
