    • Dane O'Neill: Mom, is this you? Oh, you were beautiful.

      Meggie Cleary: Were? Oh the cruelty of youth.

      Fiona 'Fee' Cleary: It was a lovely dress. Blue wasn't it?

      Meggie Cleary: No, Mum, yours was blue.

      Ralph de Bricassart: Meggie's dress was rose. "Ashes of Roses", it was called. And in it, she was the most beautiful thing any of us had ever seen.

    • Ralph de Bricassart: How will we live without him?

      Meggie Cleary: We will. Your God gathers in the good ones... and leaves the living to those of us whom fail. Your greedy God! There *is* no peace with him!
