“You can get used to anything - haven't I already said that? Isn't that what all survivors say?”

“Use language what you will, you can never say anything but what you are.”

“I can see we're going to get along like a house on fire," said Miss Tick. "There may be no survivors.”

“If you have ever said, "I didn't get anything out of worship today," you worshiped for the wrong reason. Worship isn't for you. It's for God.”

“But I know what's important to me, and what isn't. And I think I know what people can get used to, and what they can even learn to like.”

“… after all, who isn't a survivor from the wreck of childhood?”

“If you haven't been in a war and are wondering how long it takes to get used to losing everything you think you need or love, I can tell you the answer is no time at all.”

“Lord Peter Wimsey: Wait a second… I'm not sure that you haven't said something useful and important.
Lady Mary Wimsey: Everything I say is useful and important.”

“You can include me, too." William blew Olivia a kiss, and her cheeks heated with a blush. "No need to say anything. I already know what words are perched on your tongue. Stop me if I'm wrong, but my getting to know you will be your pleasure.”

“The biggest problem is the moment you say "spirituality," somebody starts talking about God, someone else about mukti, someone else about nirvana and someone else about the Ultimate. They are all already up there. You cannot do anything with people who are already up there. If somebody is down here, you can do something with them. You can only take a step if your feet are on the ground, isn't it? The moment you talk about God, you are not here anymore; you know it all. You can only start a journey from where you are. You cannot start a journey from where you are not. If you are willing to come down to where you are, then we can see what the next step is. If you are already on the third step to heaven, what can I do with you?”
