"If you examine to the root a contest between two peoples, two nations, you will always find that it is really a war between two civilisations, two ideals of life...Ireland, too, as we think, will be a country where not only will the wealth be well distributed…
"[In Yeats's work], there is this underlying notion of a race as a 'Unity of Being', as having a collective memory, or collective bank of originary symbols, images or myths...The idea of the racial community promises to circumvent the potential anomie of modern social relations"

"We went to the Gaeltacht, and at once we felt an enlargement of mind and soul. We over-idealized it, but that was natural. We learned Gaelic.
We delighted in the folk-lore of Gaelic, the hero-tales, the folkways, its popular songs. We brought them back to the towns and cities, and they became part of our racial mind. They gave us a little more of that precious sense of distinctiveness, and pride in proportion.
Our daily lives were on another plane, and we could not live, think feel, or work like western fishermen or country wives: it was not to be expected and if anybody suggested that we should we would have stared at him."
- Seán Ó Faoláin in his Bell editorials speaking of his generation's Gaeltacht experiences during the heyday of the Gaelic Revival

"Is iad na seanfhir seo a labhraíonn an Ghaeilge a nascann muintir na hAthbheochana leis na glúnta a d’imigh rompu, le hÉirinn na Gaeilge, le hÉirinn na lámhscríbhinní, le hÉirinn na naomh agus na n-ollamh, le hÉirinn na laochra, le hÉirinn nach raibh rian dá laghad den mheathlú uirthi – Éire i mbarr a réime. Tháinig ríthe, prionsaí, laochra agus d’imigh siad, ach d’fhan an teanga. Is í an teanga a cheadaíonn do lucht na hÉireann gaol a bhrú ar laochra agus ar ghlór na hÉireann agus is í an teanga a thabharfaidh an ré órga sin ar ais an athuair."

“It is these old men who speak Irish who link the people of the Revival with the generations which came before them, with the Ireland of Irish, the Ireland of manunoscripts, the Ireland of saints and scholars, the Ireland of heroes, the Ireland without trace of decay– Ireland at its peak. Kings, princes, warriors came and went, but the language remained. It is the language that allows Irish people to relate to the heroes and voice of Ireland and it is the language that will bring that golden age back again."
