Quote context

[...]

- Of course. We see so little here.

- We're not the creator.

- No, we're the creatures, aren't we? We're the rats in the cosmic laboratory. I've no doubt that the experiment is for our own good, but that still makes God the vivisectionist, doesn't it?

- No! It won't do.

- This is bloody awful mess, and that's all there is to it.

- I'm sorry. I am sorry, Christopher. I'm just not fit company tonight. That's all.

- Your grief is your own business. Maybe you feel life is a mess. Maybe it is.

- But there's Douglas.

- What about Douglas?

- I don't know what to say to him.

- Just talk to him!

- When my mother died, I was your age. I thought that if I prayed for her to get better and if I really believed, she'd get better. Then, she wouldn't die. But she did.

- It doesn't work.

- No, it doesn't work.

- I don't care.

- It doesn't seem fair, does it?

- I don't see why she had to get sick.

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.
