Quotation of the Day for March 2, 2013
"I don't expect much from the Irish -- a lot that I know so well that I despise them, everything about them, their posturing, the silly soft accents, their literature, especially Joyce, Synge but not including Yeats who writes like a great anglo -- original spare strange -- yes Hopkins -- and I hate their genius for self-advertisement, their mock-belligerence, their obvious charm."
- Richard Burton, actor, from his diary. A collection of his writings has been published as The Richard Burton Diaries.
