“God closed the doors, because He wanted you to realize that He tears down walls. God didn’t move the mountain, because He wanted you to understand that the view from the top more than made up for the climb. God didn’t take away your pain, because that would rob you of the growth that will equip you to overcome all pain. God didn’t save your relationship, because some things need to die in order for better things to be born. God didn’t grant you your dream, because God’s not going to let you be held captive to the mediocrity of the ‘possible,’ when He stands ready to help you break the back of the impossible. God didn’t give you a lot of the things that you asked for, because He wants to save you from the smallness of your requests so that He can bless you with the fullness of Himself. No…God doesn’t always do things the way that we want them done. And thank God that He doesn’t.”

“Humans have this remarkable ability to know and not to know at the same time. Or more correctly, they can know something when they really think about it, but most of the time they don't think about it, so they don't know it. If you really focus, you realise that money is fiction. But usually, you don't focus. If you are asked about it, you know that football is a human invention. But in the heat of the match, nobody asks you about it.”

“Kit: Is all this [visit to Northern Ireland] doin' your head in? Rodney: Bloody Hell, no, anything but. I've really enjoyed myself. Peter's soddin' hilarious, he really is. It's just a bit weird, that's all. And all of you being so used to it, that makes it even weirder. I mean, you've got those guys in there [the British soldiers], and that story of Peter's... There might have really been a bomb, but to him, it's just a funny story to tell... Kit: Aye, which is how you know people are really gettin' used to somethin'-- they laugh at it. An' those fellas in there were just part of the queue, part of the background. An' that's the way it is. Most've the time.”

“Seorang manusia tidak dapat bertahan terhadap kekalahan ganda. Itu adalah rahasia dari upaya mereka yang berkesinambungan untuk mendapatkan kekuasaan. Mereka mendapatkan suatu perasaan keunggulan dari kekuasaan mereka terhadap orang lain. Hal ini membuat mereka merasa menang daripada menderita kekalahan. Jadi tersembunyi kenyataan betapa kosongnya mereka itu dari dalam, sekalipun terhadap kesan kebesaran yang mereka usahakan menyebarluaskan ke sekeliling mereka. Satu-satunya hal yang mereka inginkan.”
