“What have you been reading, The Gospel according to St. Bastard?!”

“Human women have been slapping men for being bastards for centuries. You were doing what comes naturally.”

“Especially among Christians in positions of wealth and power, the idea of reading the Gospels and keeping Jesus' commandments as stated therein has been replaced by a curious process of logic. According to this process, people first declare themselves to be followers of Christ, and then they assume that whatever they say or do merits the adjective "Christian".”

“We can't live our lives according to what might have been. We have to live by what is.”

“You are writing a Gospel, A chapter each day,By deeds that you do, By words that you say.Men read what you write,Whether faithless or true;Say, what is the GospelAccording to you?”

“Rommel, you magnificent bastard! I read your book! ”
