Bobby Sands (1954 - 1981)

”I was only a working-class boy from a Nationalist ghetto, but it is repression that creates the revolutionary spirit of freedom. I shall not settle until I achieve liberation of my country, until Ireland becomes a sovereign, independent socialist republic.”

''THERE CAN NEVER BE PEACE IN IRELAND UNTIL THE FOREIGN, OPPRESSIVE BRITISH PRESENCE IS REMOVED, LEAVING ALL THE IRISH PEOPLE AS A UNIT TO CONTROL THEIR OWN AFFAIRS AND DETERMINE THEIR OWN DESTINIES AS SOVEREIGN PEOPLE, FREE IN MIND AND BODY, SEPARATE AND DISTINCT PHYSICALLY, CULTURALLY AND ECONOMICALLY''
