“FRASIER Claire, you are in mourning. But you’re not mourning the loss of your boyfriend. You’re mourning the loss of what you thought your life was going to be. Let it go.

“The truth is that we are the only race on earth that can produce men capable of getting inside the skin of remote peoples. Perhaps the Scots are better than the English, but we are all a thousand per cent better than anyone else’. An unrealistic conceit.”

“Literalism is for the weak; fundamentalism is for the insecure. Both are sins, too, against God, for to come to believe that we are in exclusive possession of the truth about things beyond time and space, and thus hold the power to shape lives and decisions about things within time and space, is to put ourselves in the place of God. But we are taught that no man has searched the mind of the Lord, or been his counselor.”
