Enjoy the best Seamus Heaney Quotes. Quotations by Seamus Heaney (Irish Poet and Nobel Laureate)
Born: -

Everything is possible.

I am a poet. I write poems.

The pen is mightier than the sword.

The way we are, we are more than what we are.

Walk on air against your better judgement.

History says, Don't hope / On this side of the grave. / But then, once in a lifetime / The longed-for tidal wave / Of justice can rise up, / And hope and history rhyme.

Earth set free / In the sun's eye.

I rhyme / To see myself, to set the darkness echoing.

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

If you can't be good, be careful.
