'We all leave one another. We die, we change - it's mostly change - we outgrow our best friends; but even if I do leave you, I will have passed on to you something of myself; you will be a different person because of knowing me; it's inescapable'

— Edna O'Brien, Girl with Green Eyes

"Being Irish,” says Alison Oliver, comes with “an undercurrent of inherited grief. An underlay of darkness that we all feel here” – she cautiously presses both palms to her stomach – “even if we can’t always explain it in words.”

— Alison Oliver, quoted by Helen Brown in The Telegraph
