“The tune was sad, as the best of Ireland was, melancholy and lovely as a lover's tears.”

“Ireland is a land of poets and legends, of dreamers and rebels. All of these have music woven through and around them. Tunes for dancing or for weeping, for battle or for love.”

“Love birds don't always sing pretty tunes.”

“It shouldn't make you sad to know you're loved, Grayson."But it did. It made him sad, and panicked, and for just a moment, wishful.”

“Ah, kiss me, love, and miss me, love, and dry your bitter tears. (Irish Pub Song)”

“It was best not to think, not to analyze. It was best to accept and act.”

“When you reach for the stars, you lose blood and tears. That's something you should remember.”
