“Oh dear Pan and all the other Gods of this place, grant that I may be beautiful inside.”
279 – a prayer of Socrates, as portrayed in the dialogue.
Phaedrus
Context: Oh dear Pan and all the other Gods of this place, grant that I may be beautiful inside. Let all my external possessions be in friendly harmony with what is within. May I consider the wise man rich. As for gold, let me have as much as a moderate man could bear and carry with him.

“Oh dear God, one misses the land when is far away.”
TV show with Ednita Nazario

“Oh, God! that bread should be so dear,
And flesh and blood so cheap!”
St. 5.
1840s, The Song of the Shirt (1843)

“Dear Child of God, I am sorry to say that suffering is not optional.”
“Lois Learned, Big Nurse, and I thought, Oh my God.”
The Paris Review interview (1994)
Context: I was performing The Sea Lion in the Newport Performing Arts Center. Afterwards a white-haired old woman approached me and said, Hey, you remember me? I looked her over, and I knew I remembered her, but had no idea who she was. She said, Lois. It still didn’t click. She said, Lois Learned, Big Nurse, and I thought, Oh my God. She was a volunteer at Newport, long since retired from the nursing business. This was the nurse on the ward I worked on at the Menlo Park hospital. I didn’t know what to think and she didn’t either, but I was glad she came up to me. I felt there was a lesson in it, the same one I had tried to teach Hollywood. She’s not the villain. She might be the minion of the villain, but she’s really just a big old tough ex-army nurse who is trying to do the best she can according to the rules that she has been given. She worked for the villain and believed in the villain, but she ain’t the villain.

“I thought what father said. Oh god he said. And only eight.”
