"[letter to Peter Wakeling] I wonder, Mr. Wakeling, if I may now turn to matters you may consider more personal. I have no wish to belittle our playground... but I put it to you that it was, all the same, a small thing. And that it will, before long go the way of most small things. It may fall into disrepair, or be superseded by some grander scheme. To speak plainly, we can not assume to have erected a lasting monument. Should there come days when it's no longer clear to you to what end you are directing your daily efforts, when the sheer grind of it all threatens to reduce you to the kind of state in which I so long existed, I urge you then to recall our little playground and the modest satisfaction that became our due upon its completion."

"Don't worry, old chap. This time of morning it's a kind of rule: Not too much fun and laughter. Rather like church."

"I wonder if you ever stop on the way home and watch the children playing. In the street, or in the yard. And when the time comes and their mothers call them in, they're often reluctant. They, they get a little contrary. But that's as it should be. Far better than to be the child you occasionally see, he's sitting by himself in the corner not taking part, not happy, not unhappy. Merely waiting for his mother to call him in. I've become afraid that I might end up like that child. And I so very much do not wish to do so."

"I don't have time to get angry."

"There was a time when what one did in London stayed in London, but these days half of the street works in London."

"It's never too late to start."

"Leaving is how we demonstrate our faith. We are leaving because our faith is stronger than the rules. Bigger than our life."

"Sometimes I think people laugh as hard as they'd like to cry."

"We saw our bodies from above, not knowing if this was how God saw us, or because we didn't want to be in them."

"The attacks were originally attributed to ghosts and demons. When the women woke up feeling drowsy and in pain, their bodies bruised and bleeding, many believed they were being made to suffer as punishment for their sins. Many accused the women of lying for attention or to cover up adultery."

"[narrating] We didn't talk about our bodies. So when something like this happened there was no language for it. And without language for it, there was a gaping silence. And in that gaping silence was the real horror."

"We do not need to be forgiven by the men of God for protecting our children from the depraved actions of vicious men, who are often the very same men we're meant to ask for forgiveness."

"They said later, it should have taken longer to pack up a whole life. It was disappointing to realize that everything that ever mattered to you could be gathered up in a few short hours."

"Forgiveness can look like permission."

"It was a yes or no question. You shit like any other man, why don't you talk like one?"

"[to Ona's baby] Your story will be different from ours."

"I will become a murderer if I stay."

"We have been preyed upon like animals. Maybe we should respond like animals."

"We know we were made to sleep with cow tranquilizer!"

"Lia Williams - Mrs. Smith"

"I will destroy any living thing that harms my child. I will tear it limb from limb. I will desecrate its body and I will bury it alive. I will challenge God on the spot to strike me dead if I have sinned by protecting my child from evil, and my destroying that evil that it may not harm another. I will lie, I will hunt, I will kill. I will dance on graves and I will burn forever in hell before I allow another man to satisfy his violent urges with the body of my four year old child."
