“I like anything that sparkles - mainly diamonds and champagne”

“The stars are duller than an old pocket knife, they used to sparkle like five-carat diamonds.”

“The Holy Scripture is like a diamond: in the dark it is like a piece of glass, but as soon as the light strikes it the water begins to sparkle, and the scintillation of life greets us.”

“You’ll have champagne. All girls like champagne.” All girls didn’t like champagne. I preferred root beer. Willie preferred anything that smelled like gasoline and burned her throat. She could hold her liquor better than any man, and I wished she was there to help me navigate John Lockwell.”

“When the sun shines o’er the loch and sparkles on the water like diamond drops, ye know one thing:somewhere there’s a MacLean who is smilin’.”

“We shall find peace. We shall hear angels, we shall see the sky sparkling with diamonds.”
