Quotes edit

“I stand here in a world filled with rising and angry voices which will no longer tolerate their lives being manipulated by the perverse whim of greedy men. Before this twentieth century is out it will see you packing your kits and being drummed out of every corner of the world in scorn. You're a bunch of damned hypocrites holding yourselves up the the word as the successors of the ancient democracies while your hands are soaked in blood and your Parliament hosts this mockery. All you're really in it is for the money!”
Conor Larking, pg. 665 -
“Where were you when your father and I and our cronies sliced Ireland up like a pie? Where were you when we were covering our dung after the shirt factory fire?Oh, you where there, all right, clear up the here, because you believed in what we were doing. And why? Because you wanted your million quid to gussy up theRathweed Hall and Hubble Manor and acquire art and culture and become a rich and powerful lady. Oh, you were there all right, because your precious money and your precious power came from the same imperial experience that now makes you hold up your hands and wail...' Oh, Roger, why can't we get along with these people?' You, madam, in your heyday spending more money a week than the wages of every man in Weed Ship & Iron and the shirt factory combined.You and your token little house Catholics can neither absolve you of your sins nor transfer them conveniently to your husband and your father.”
Lord Roger Hubble pg 715

Loyalty is a sentiment, not a law. It rests on love, not on restraint. The governing of Ireland by England rests on restraint and not on love; and since it demands no love, it can evoke no loyalty.
