I remember my father in tears. Voices all over the house. Doors shutting and opening. It was a big house, all long empty corridors.

Quote context

[...]

- It's called the Golden Valley, I believe. Somewhere in Herefordshire.

- Somewhere special?

- In a way. It was on our nursery wall when I was a child.

- I didn't know it was a real place then. I thought it was a view of heaven.

- Oh, The Promised Land.

- Yes, I used to think that one day I'd come round a bend in the road or over the brow of a hill, and there it would be.

- I have been really hurt, you know? First time is always the worst. That was when my mother died.

- How old were you?

- Nine.

- That's old enough to hurt. Oh, yes. It was the end of my world.

- I remember my father in tears. Voices all over the house. Doors shutting and opening. It was a big house, all long empty corridors.

- I remember I had a toothache, and I wanted my mother to come to me. I cried for her to come, but she didn't come.

- And after death... Did you believe you'd meet her again?

- No. I don't think I had any faith in anything when I was a child.

- She was gone. That was all.

- And still you listen for the footsteps coming down the corridors, but they don't come.

- Yes.

Top rated lines from this movie

And does God want us to suffer? What if the answer to that question is yes? 'Cause I'm not sure that God particularly wants us to be happy. I think he wants us to be able to love and be loved. He wants us to grow up.
I love you, Joy. I love you so much. You've made me so happy. I didn't know I could be so happy.
That's not why I pray. I pray because I can't help myself. I pray because I'm helpless. I pray because the need flows out of me all the time, waking and sleeping. It doesn't change God. It changes me.
You see, we are like blocks of stone, out of which the sculptor carves the forms of men. The blows of his chisel, which hurt us so much, are what make us perfect.
Give me blizzards and frozen pipes, but not this, nothing time. Not this, waiting room of the world.
