- What?
- It's one of my stories. We live in the Shadowlands. The sun is always shining somewhere else. Round a bend in the road. Over the brow of a hill.

- One more year, and you'd have your degree.

- Yeah, then what?

- Teach like you?

- I wonder what it is everyone wants from me.

- You know, that's the first question I've ever heard you ask that sounds like you don't know the answer.

- Is that good? Is that what you want? Ignorance? Confusion?

- Look, I just don't think I see my way ahead quite as clearly as you do.

- It's one of my stories. We live in the Shadowlands. The sun is always shining somewhere else. Round a bend in the road. Over the brow of a hill.

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.
