Irish People Quotes

“The behaviour of the English people I had run into was making it very difficult to nail down a theory that the reason my trip so far had been such a bizarre success, was that Irish people were crazy. One Englishman had spent a morning on the telephone trying to organise a helicopter to take me out to an island, when a boat was leaving only a few yards away, and here was another, making a two-hour round trip for no reason other than to lend a helping hand. Two of the more eccentric pieces of behaviour hadn't been performed by the Irish, but by my fellow countrymen. However, both Andy and Tony had embraced wholeheartedly a love of the Irish way of living life.”
― Tony Hawks, Round Ireland with a Fridge

“Ah, the Irish. We’re a hopeless lot.”
― Edward Falco, The Family Corleone

“The Irish I meet are generous of spirit in the way of rooted people who live where they belong .”
― Christine Irving, Sitting On The Hag Seat: A Celtic Knot of Poems
