“Dad reckoned there was a rational explanation for everything, even things that made no sense at all. UFOs, ghosts, God - they're just the names people came up with for stuff they haven't worked out yet.”

“But maybe 'coincidence' was a name given to things by people who just haven't spottted a connection yet.”

“Things usually work out in the end.""What if they don't?""That just means you haven't come to the end yet.”

“People who think they're free in this world just haven't come to the end of their leash yet.”

“There is a rational explanation for everything, regardless of whether that explanation is known.”

“My belief in Jesus did not seem rational or scientific, and yet there was nothing I could do to separate myself from this belief. I think Laura was looking for something rational, because she believed that all things that were true were rational. But that isn't the case. Love, for example, is a true emotion, but it is not rational. What I mean is, people actually feel it. I have been in love, plenty of people have been in love, yet love cannot be proved scientifically, and yet we all believe in light and by light see all things. There are plenty of things that are true that don't make any sense. I think one of the problems Laura was having was that she wanted God to make sense. He doesn't. He will make no more sense to me than I will make sense to an ant.”
