Seamus Heaney said this quote

It is always betterto avenge dear ones than to indulge in mourning.For every one of us, living in this worldmeans waiting for our end. Let whoever canwin glory before death. When a warrior is gone,that will be his best and only bulwark.

~ Seamus Heaney

History says, Don’t hopeOn this side of the grave,But then, once in a lifetimeThe longed-for tidal waveOf justice can rise up,And hope and history rhyme

~ Seamus Heaney

If you have the words, there's always a chance that you'll find the way.

~ Seamus Heaney

Between my finger and my thumb The squat pen rests, snug as a gun.
