There is an exchange of dialogue in "Ulysses" by James Joyce that's interesting and true. Stephen Dedalus collects his wages from the headmaster at the school he teaches at. The headmaster asks him, "The Irish are the only nation in Europe that never persecuted the jews. Do you know why, Mr Dedalus?" Stephen replies he does not know, to which the headmaster says, "Because she never let them in."
