Lecturer quotes
" Diplomacy is to do and say the nastiest things in the nicest way. "

Isaac Goldberg
" There is that smaller world which is the stage, and that larger stage which is the world. "

Isaac Goldberg
" A public expectation, it has to be said, not of poetry as such but of political positions variously approvable by mutually disapproving groups. "

Seamus Heaney
" As writers and readers, as sinners and citizens, our realism and our aesthetic sense make us wary of crediting the positive note. "

Seamus Heaney
" But that citizen's perception was also at one with the truth in recognizing that the very brutality of the means by which the IRA were pursuing change was destructive of the trust upon which new possibilities would have to be based. "

Seamus Heaney
" But the thing uttered by the speaker I strain towards is still not quite the story of what is going on; it is more reflexive than that, because as a poet I am in fact straining towards a strain, seeking repose in the stability conferred by a musically satisfying order of sounds. "

Seamus Heaney
" Even if the hopes you started out with are dashed, hope has to be maintained. "

Seamus Heaney
" Even if the last move did not succeed, the inner command says move again. "

Seamus Heaney
" I began a few years ago to try to make space in my reckoning and imagining for the marvellous as well as for the murderous. "

Seamus Heaney
" I credit poetry for making this space-walk possible. "

Seamus Heaney
" I may have grown more attentive to the news and more alive to the world history and world-sorrow behind it. "

Seamus Heaney
" In fact, in lyric poetry, truthfulness becomes recognizable as a ring of truth within the medium itself. "

Seamus Heaney
" It has as much to do with the energy released by linguistic fission and fusion, with the buoyancy generated by cadence and tone and rhyme and stanza, as it has to do with the poem's concerns or the poet's truthfulness. "

Seamus Heaney
" It is difficult at times to repress the thought that history is about as instructive as an abattoir; that Tacitus was right and that peace is merely the desolation left behind after the decisive operations of merciless power. "

Seamus Heaney
" It was like a moment of exposure to interstellar cold, a reminder of the scary element, both inner and outer, in which human beings must envisage and conduct their lives. "

Seamus Heaney
