Quote context

[...]

- I wasn't going to come, but then I thought I would.

- Life must go on.

- I don't know that it must, but it certainly does.

- I'm sorry, Jack.

- Thank you, Christopher.

- We're all deeply sorry, Jack.

- Thank you, President.

- Anything I can do?

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.
The pain now is part of the happiness then. That's the deal.
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.
One has to say things. The moment passes, and then you're alone again. -Yes.
Beastly things, telephones. Ring, ring, ring. Stop what you're doing. Get up. Hurry, hurry. Ring, Ring, Ring. No manners at all, huh?
