“Cad é an mhaith dom eagla a bheith orm? Ní shaorfadh eagla duine ón mbás, dar ndóigh.”
― Peig Sayers, An Old Woman's Reflections: The Life of a Blasket Island Storyteller
“Seanabhean is ea mise anois go bhfuil cos léi insan uaigh is an chos eile ar a bruach. Is mó bogradh is cruatan curtha agam díom ón gcéad lá do saolaíodh me go dtí an lá atá inniu ann. Dá mbeadh ’fhios agam go mbeadh a leath, ná a thrian, i ndán dom ní bheadh mo chroí ná m’intinn chomh haerach ná chomh misníúil is do bhí i dtosach mo shaoil.”
― Peig Sayers, Peig: The Autobiography of Peig Sayers of the Great Blasket Island
“Dead indeed is the heart from which the balmy air of the sea cannot banish sorrow and grief.”
― Peig Sayers, Peig: The Autobiography of Peig Sayers of the Great Blasket Island

“Ar chualabhair riamh," arsa Eoghain, "ná fanann tráigh le headra agus ní lú mar a fhanfaidh an traein linne. Ní hé seo an tOileán agaibh go bhfanfaidh an naomhóg libh go mbeidh sibh ullamh."

Chuir sin imníomh orainn agus bhí gach aoinne ar a dhícheall ag baint an stáisiúin amach. Nuair a shroicheamar é ba dhóigh leat nár cailleadh aoinne riamh, bhí a oiread sin daoine ann. Bhí gach carráiste lán.”
