Dubliner
- Rocky Road to Dublin (pt 1)
Well in the merry month of May from me home I started, left the girls of Tuam nearly broken hearted, saluted father dear, drank a pint of beer me grief and tears to smother. Then off to reap the corn, and leave where I was born, cut stout a black thorn to banish ghost and goblin. With a pair of brand new brogues, rattling o'er the bogs, frightening all the dogs, on the rocky Road to Dublin.
Matter of Record
- Historical Fact
The Japanese did not surrender after the dropping of the first atomic bomb. In fact, when the emperor decided to surrender after the second bomb was dropped, there was a revolt in the palace. Furthermore, the only alternative to dropping the bombs was an invasion of mainland Japan. Casualty estimates, for both the Allies and Japanese, for an invasion of Japan were in the millions.
Francisco D'anconia (Ayn Rand)
- Root of Money
Run for your life from any man who tells you that money is evil. That sentence is the leper's bell of an approaching looter. So long as men live together on earth and need means to deal with one another, their only substitute, if they abandon money, is the muzzle of a gun.
Bobby Sands
- Peace in Ireland
There can never be peace in Ireland until the foreign oppressive British presence is removed, leaving all the Irish people as a unit to control their own affairs and determine their own destinies as a sovereign people, free in mind and body, separate and distinct physically, culturally, and economically.
