Angela's Ashes (1999)

Andrew Bennett: Narrator

Quotes 

• Narrator : [First lines]  When I look back on my childhood, I wonder how my brothers and I managed to survive at all. It was, of course, a miserable childhood. The happy childhood is hardly worth telling. Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood. And worse still is the miserable Irish Catholic childhood.

• Narrator : If I were in America I could say "I love you, dad", the way they do in the films. But in Limerick they'd laugh at you. In Limerick you are only allowed to say you love God, and babies, and horses that win. Anything else is softness in the head.

• Narrator : It was the first time my father ever kissed me. I felt so happy I could float.
