Famous Allie Ray Quotes

“A warm quiet, a gentle quiet; something soft and friendly the might have shared if Angus had gotten over her, or if they had gotten married, but couldn't be sustained the way things were between them now. The comfortable feeling between them burned off like mist with each longing glance Angus took at her, wanting more the way men always wanted more---even, or perhaps especially, men who grew up poor. Angus had spent his whole life wanting, and maybe that's why he kept on wanting Jean-Louise; as a boy he'd never known a full stomach, and as a man he couldn't fee satisfation.”

“FATHER RILEY. ...I love her! But that doesn't change the fact that every thought in my head is sinful. That doesn't change the fact that I'm a hypocrite giving out penance when I know how far a Hail, Mary goes for taking away the hatred and the jealousy that's just going to come back again and again and again...And sometimes...I feel like the man at the toll booth, giving out a price they pay so that they can go on their way, until the next time they need to go through.”
