🩸 "O my brothers, this was one of the truest men that ever lived. This was one of the bravest spirits that Ireland ever nurtured. This man was faithful even unto the ignominy of the gallows, dying that his people might live, even as Christ died" - Pearse on Robert Emmet ☘️

💥 "I have been called a madman, because I acted in a way that was not pleasing to England. The longer I live, the more I come to believe that Irishmen will have to go a little mad my way before they go the right way to get any freedom for Ireland." - O'Donovan Rossa
💥 "Nationhood is not achieved otherwise than in arms. Ireland unarmed will attain just as much freedom as it is convenient for England to give her. Ireland armed will attain ultimately just as much freedom as she wants."
🩸"Sentimental egotist; Full of curious Old Testament theories about being the scapegoat for the people He was convinced of the necessity of a periodic blood sacrifice to keep the National spirit alive There was a strain of abnormality in all this..." - Bulmer Hobson on Pearse
