Quote by Sean O'Casey

“You cannot put a rope around the neck of an idea: you can not put an idea up against a barracks-square wall and riddle it with bullets: you cannot confine it in the strongest prison cell that your slaves could ever build.”

His major works include Juno and the Paycock, The Plough and the Stars, and The Silver Tassie. O'Casey's plays blend tragedy and comedy, reflecting the struggles of Irish independence and human nature. He later moved to England and continued writing until his death, leaving a lasting impact on 20th-century theater. more
