Quote context

[...]

- What's happening to me, Warnie? I can't see her anymore. Can't remember her face.

- I expect it's shock.

- I'm so afraid of never seeing her again, of thinking that suffering is just suffering, after all. No cause, no purpose, no pattern.

- I don't know what to tell you, Jack.

- Nothing, there's nothing to say. I know that now.

- I've just come up against a bit of experience. Experience is a brutal teacher, but you learn. My God, you learn.

- Sir, I really do think one or two of us should have gone.

- Certainly not, we hardly knew the woman. I haven't even seen him for a couple of weeks.

- I wouldn't say this to Jack, but in the circumstances, better sooner than later.

- Is he taking it very hard?

- Yes, I'm afraid so.

- Rupert, could we have a word together out in the hall?

- Good evening, Jack. Nice to see you, Jack. Jack.

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.

We think our childish toys bring us all the happiness there is and our nursery is the whole wide world. But something... Something must drive us out of the nursery to the world of others, and that something is suffering.

I've just come up against a bit of experience. Experience is a brutal teacher, but you learn. My God, you learn.

Give me blizzards and frozen pipes, but not this, nothing time. Not this, waiting room of the world.

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.
