Ralph de Bricassart : But I love God more
-
Young Meggie Cleary : Do you suppose that God is really around us all the time?
Ralph de Bricassart : What makes you ask me that, my little girl?
Young Meggie Cleary : Because if He is, I think he must be here... don't you?

Ralph de Bricassart : [to young Meggie] Why do you tug so at my heart? Why do you fill that space God can't fill?

Ralph de Bricassart : I haven't found it easy, anyway, to keep my vows... to forgo the love of a woman or of money or to be obedient. That's been the hardest for me, obedience. But I've learnt to obey. This place has taught me that.
Frank Cleary : Maybe I should become a priest. I'd qualify all right. No woman, no money and oh, do I obey!
