Roger Casement Quotes

• Ireland that has wronged no man, that has injured no land, that has sought no
  dominion over others. Ireland is treated today among other nations of the world as if she was a convicted criminal. If it be treason to fight against such an unnatural fate as this, then I am proud to be a rebel and shall cling to my rebellion with the last drop of my blood.
