Quotes by James Dempsey (?)

“Is everything all right?” Sinead O’Maurieagh. Born simply Susan Murray, but a youthful inflammation of love for the land of her grandfather, a Kerry man, encouraged her to rechristen herself in the unpronounceable Gaelic and take up Irish step-dancing, which she now taught to the little Liams, Shamuses and Deirdres of South Boston.”
― James Dempsey, MURPHY'S AMERICAN DREAM

“Indeed, to Thayer, Worcester displayed the same graceless greed and servility to the social order he despised in his own Worcester relatives”
― James Dempsey, The Tortured Life of Scofield Thayer
