“I had a sense of unease … of things changing too quickly before my eyes, of becoming what they ought not to be” -Michael in Dancing at Lughnasa

 

“And I don’t care how young they are, how drunk and dirty and sweaty they are. I want to dance, Kate. It’s the festival of Lughnasa. I’m only thirty-five. I want to dance” –Agnes in Dancing at Lughnasa
