A selection of quotes- some poignant, some hilarious - from commencement addresses by Irish and Irish American speakers throughout the States.
“I’m not only talking about writing here, but about any inventive work that originates in the unconscious. The creative process - making something out of nothing - is the great revelation of what's down there in those mysterious depths of your mind, unbeknown to anyone, especially you.” William Kennedy, Manhattan College, May 22, 2011

News Headline: Our Favorite College Basketball Arenas
News Text:
For a guy from Brooklyn who grew up idolizing the "find the open man" New York Knicks of the late 1960s and early '70s, coaching in Madison Square Garden was as big a thrill as a basketball junkie could have. In fact, one of my favorite memories actually came in a close loss to St. John's in the Holiday Festival in December 1994, when I was the young coach at Manhattan College. The Jaspers came in undefeated, and all of New York was talking about the game. When we went on a 10-0 run in the second half to take the lead in front of a sellout crowd of 19,500, I had an out-of-body experience. We fell a little short on a questionable call late in the game, but I felt for a moment a part of the great history of the “World's Most Famous Arena.”
