“Some are born with knowledge, some derive it from study, and some acquire it only after a painful realization of their ignorance.But the knowledge being possessed, it comes to the same thing.Some study with a natural ease, some from a desire for advantages, and some by strenuous effort.But the achievement being made, it comes to the same thing.”

“Faren min lærte meg å sitere Shakespeare feilfritt. Og skalden har hatt rett, sa hun med et smil. For sannelig er det sant at 'All verden er en scene, hvor menn og kvinner bare er små aktører som kommer og som går. En enkelt mann må spille mange roller i sitt liv.' Så nå avslutter jeg som jeg begynte, sa hun lavt. Som medlem av en trupp gjør jeg min sorti, så jeg kan spille nye roller i neste kapittel av livet mitt.”

“If you cannot see that divinity includes male and female characteristics and at the same time transcends them, you have bad consequences. Rome and Cardinal O'Connor base the exclusion of women priests on the idea that God is the Father and Jesus is His Son, there were only male disciples, etc. They are defending a patriarchal Church with a patriarchal God. We must fight the patriarchal misunderstanding of God.”

“Everyone agrees the celibacy rule is just a Church law dating from the 11th century, not a divine command.”
