‘John Quinn brings intelligence, curiosity and empathy to his interviews: and he is a good listener. This is probably why his interviews in the RTÉ Sound Archives are so worth listening to – and worth reading, as in this book.’
--John Bowman, broadcaster and historian
***
‘The surprising juxtaposition of such diverse minds is beguiling. Chief among its many pleasures is the delightful company of John Quinn, nourishing us once again with the wisdom of human experiences.’
--Josephine Brady, author and former librarian
***
‘[John Quinn’s] book pays homage to history, to those who have gone before us, those who inform us now and those who will shape the future … a glorious compilation to savour and to share.’
--Dr Marie Murray, psychologist, author and adjunct professor, School of Psychology, UCD
***
‘An excellent collection of informative and insightful interviews featuring a range of public figures who helped to shape modern Ireland. Invaluable!’
--T.P. O’Mahony, journalist and author
