For when Iwaltzed with Chris, I'd made him someone else.

Love doesn't always come when you want it to. Sometimes it just happens, despite your will.

People make the rules of society, not God.

I don't think she's ever coming back.

I wish the night would end, I wish the day'd begin, I wish it would rain or snow, or the wind would blow, or the grass would grow, I wish I had yesterday, I wish there were games to play...

Grief, no matter how you try to cater to its wail, has a way of fading away.

Fool! Never wait on a man! Let him wait on himself!

Go on, glare your eyes at me, and cry and plead, and talk tome about money and what it can buy. But it can't buy back a child once he's dead!

We haven't remained idle, twiddling our thumbs while you were off having a good time. Through books Cathy and I have lived a zillion lives . . . our vicarious way to feel alive.

Look at you, standing there in your iron- gray dress, feeling piousand self- righteous while you starve small children!

Then turn your eyes back on me, and tell me that Cathy and I are still children to be treated with condescension, and are incapable of understanding adult subjects.

The business of the dead belongs to the living.

His voice was soft but deep, and it sounded like history.

Wickedness never rests easily so, in a way, one might almost feel pity for the wicked, for they are destined to live their lives in fear, in a prison of the heart.

No man ever dared to manifest his boredom so insolently as does a Siamese tomcat when he yawns in the face of his amorously importunate wife.

How can we embrace rest and play if we've tied our self-worth to what we produce?

I really do hate to sing.

The mind sins, not the body; if there is no intention, there is no blame.

Freedom and liberty always mean freedom from police interference.

Let the man who would hear God speak, read Holy Scriptures.

I love Sam Mendes. He's a fantastic director.
