"This baby's making a prisoner of me....I can't do anything. I can't go any place. I don't even see my husband... I don't want him to see me this way."

"I keep forgetting you can't draw a deep breath in this room without being heard all over the house. Let's change the name of the place from Back of the Moon to Goldfish Manor."

"[describing her nightmare] We were out in the skiff, my husband and I, and he jumped in for a swim. But I was too lazy, so I just rowed after him. Somehow I was afraid, and when we got to the middle of the lake, I thought it was time for him to get back into the boat. So I decided to call out to him, but I had no voice. Suddenly, Richard went under, not diving, but the way seals do, just sort of settling in the water. Then he came up again, and one of his arms flung out to me as if he were trying to call to me. I tried to row to him, but the lake was like glue. The boat wouldn't move. My arms were paralyzed. Then he went down again. And this time he stayed down."

"Gene Tierney - Ellen Berent Harland"

"I assure you, I don't want to shirk any responsibility. I'm thinking only of Danny, and I - no, that isn't true. I'm thinking a little about myself, too. I know you'll understand, Dr. Mason. I gave up my honeymoon to come here so that my husband could be with his brother. But he's been working, and the burden's been on me. I've spent hours here every day. I was glad to do it. It was no sacrifice at all. I love Danny as much as he does and I'm just as happy as he is that Danny's doing so well. But after all, he's a cripple. [pause] I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that...I didn't mean it. I'm afraid I haven't been too well myself lately."

"I hate your chapter. I hate all your chapters. They take up too much of your time...After all, it isn't as if you had to write for a living. I've got more than enough for both of us, and darling, it's the dearest wish of my heart to support you....Oh darling, I didn't know it could be so wonderful here, Back of the Moon....Every minute. If only it weren't so crowded."

"Not that I mind chaperones, not in the least. But there's Danny's room on one side of us and Thorne's room on the other side. And the wall's as thin as paper, and the acoustics disgustingly perfect....Do you know ever since we've been married, we've never been alone, not for a single day?"

"Maja: [in Swedish after being impregnated by Christian during the mating ritual] I feel it! I can feel the baby!"

"Well. We, um - have something regretful to announce. This morning, the nineteenth book of Rubi Radr was found missing, from the temple. We don't want to - point fingers, and yet we kindly ask that whoever took it return it, to its original place. You can leave it in the temple, which will be left unguarded, unwatched. Nobody need to know, it was you."

"And now, in keeping with tradition: Hjalmar and Josef will make three trips. If they make it back with the flame intact, our vintage will be abundant this year! On the other hand, if it burns out – that will be an omen of bad luck and we will know to prepare."

"[in Swedish] This high my fire. No higher. No hotter!"

"Florence Pugh – Dani Ardor"

"Please! What you just saw is a long, long, long observed custom. Those two who jumped have just reached the end of their Hårga life-cycle, and you need to understand it as a great joy for them. And when it is my turn, it will be a great joy for me. We view life as a circle. A re-cycle. The lady who jumped, her name was Ylva, yes? And that baby over there, who is not yet born, will inherit that name. Instead of getting old and dying in pain and fear and shame, we give our life – as a gesture. Before it can spoil. It does no good dying, lashing back at the inevitable. It corrupts the spirit."

"Nature just knows instinctually how to stay in harmony! It's mechanical. Everything doing its part."

"The bad times they will begin, and from that point everything moves very quickly. You know, this social structure can't bear the stress of multiple crises. Opportunistic diseases, anarchy, martial law, the tipping point. And this isn't in some like distant future. You will live to see this."

"Amanda Seyfried - Mary Mensana"

"Global warming, a sea of pornography, hyper violent video games. It's a world without privacy. Each kid isolated, communicating on media. It's a world without hope!"

"A Mighty Fortress is Our God. That's all organ. Did you know that, uh, Martin Luther wrote that in an outhouse?"

"We tend to think that anxiety and worry are simply an indication of how wise we are, yet it is a much better indication of how wicked we are. Fretting arises from our determination to have our own way."

"Every act of preservation is an act of creation. Everything preserved renews creation. It's how we participate in creation."

"Even a pastor needs a pastor."

"Cedric Kyles - Pastor Joel Jeffers"

"Despair is a development of pride so great that it chooses one's certitude rather than admit God is more creative than we are."

"Maybe I shouldn't care about whether people like me. Did Jesus worry about being liked?"

"Discernment intersects with Christian life at every moment. Discernment. Listening and waiting for God's wish what action must be taken."

"The desire to pray itself is a type of prayer. How often we ask for genuine experience when all we really want is emotion."
