Angela's Ashes quotes

  • Narrator: If I were in America I could say "I love you, dad", the way they do in the films. But in Limerick they'd laugh at you. In Limerick you are only allowed to say you love God, and babies, and horses that win. Anything else is softness in the head.

  • Young Frank: Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. It's been a minute since my last confession.
