Adrian McKinty
“Ireland in shades of black and green under the gibbous moon. Ireland under the canopy of grey cloud, under the crow's wing and the helicopter blade. A night ride over the Lagan valley and the bandit country of South Armagh. The music in my head was Mahler's Ninth Symphony, which opens with a hesitant syncopated motif evocative of Mahler's irregular heartbeat.”
Adrian McKinty , In the Morning I'll be Gone

Pope Francis
“God is a careful and attentive father, ready to welcome any person who takes a step or even expresses the desire to take a step that leads home. He is there, staring out at the horizon, expecting us, waiting for us. No human sin -- however serious -- can prevail over or limit mercy.”
Pope Francis, The Name of God is Mercy

Adrian McKinty
“You're a glass-half-empty kind of guy, sir, aren't you?"
"I don't even acknowledge the existence of the glass, son.”
Adrian McKinty, Police at the Station and They Don't Look Friendly

Adrian McKinty
“But this was Northern Ireland in 1981 which was slightly less conservative than, say, Salem in 1692”
Adrian McKinty, The Cold Cold Ground

“God awaits us with open arms; we need only to take a step toward him like the Prodigal Son. But if, weak as we are, we don't have the strength to take that step, just the desire to take it is enough.”
Andrea Tornielli, El nombre de Dios es Misericordia
