Quotations

“Nothing born of violence can succeed. Let's be one country.” (Irish News, Mar. 28, 2015)

On U.S. War on Terror: “I understand entirely why people would want to fight back. But I don’t think it actually achieves anything. It doesn’t bring back your lost people.” (Sinéad O’Connor’s Religion and Political Views, Hollowverse)

A no brute force do it.
Your weapons can't do it
So hear this!
Throw down your arms and come,
Throw down your arms and come,
Throw down your arms and come,
Drop them
Put them away to stay.
