“It was true what Jim said, this wasn’t the end but the beginning. But the wars would end one day and Jim would come then, to the island they would share. One day surely the wars would end, and Jim would come home, if only to lie broken in MacMurrough’s arms, he would come to his island home.

For maybe it was true that no man is an island: but he believed that two very well might be.”
― Jamie O'Neill, At Swim, Two Boys

“I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.”
