'"It's like religion. And Beefeaters. People see a church service carried on by an octogenarian who hasn't had a spiritual insight since Toc H and from that conclude that God is Dead. Those men in flat hats at the Tower of London presenting halberds look pretty funny so the idea of tradition is baloney. Polite people listening to bad poets read bad verses in a religious hush is boring so let's have everybody as impolite as possible. That's real. Start from scratch. Shake the dice all over again." He groaned and rubbed his eyes with both hands. "Why must people be such whole-hoggers? It's always either/or."'
from A Song and Dance by PJ Kavanagh (Chapter 4)
