world is safe and full of the law, and it will live up to the Tathagata.

Blessed to find the thorn bird that stings him and makes him sing the most beautiful thorn tree... God is Ralph's thorn tree to his son who aspires to inherit his mantle (of course he doesn't know the secret) Said that being a priest had always been his natural calling, not a gift; and Ralph was Meggie's thorn tree, a fate she could not resist and could not escape.


"There is no reason in the world that is noble enough to hurt a person's heart."

I love those honest, deep and full of love souls. As long as it is true love, it is beautiful. Love, family, and friendship are all very real and ultimately beautiful. Including the last "except for an ugly old body, empty of useless wisdom, but still young at heart" Mrs. Carson reflects the soul-stirring love.

This is a story told calmly and unhurriedly, a story whose process and ending are perfect enough. The God inside is really merciful enough, and I believe he has done his best to satisfy every deepest desire and even desire in the heart. It not only realized Ralph's dual desires of ambition and love, but also made Meggie successfully defeat the god in Ralph's heart, obtained Ralph's affectionate love, and harvested a rich and perfect love fruit. Not only the two heroines and heroines are persuasive and appealing, but all the other supporting roles are also vivid and three-dimensional. Friends (husbands and wives), and that wise cardinal...a classic blockbuster with breadth and depth and breadth, no wonder it hasn't been remade for years.


Successfully defeated God... what a sense of accomplishment for a woman.


If a woman is willing to give birth and put all her effort into raising a child knowing that there will be no father, I can only agree with one reason, and that is worthy love.

He deserves it, so she is happy.

The Thorn Birds quotes

  • Ralph de Bricassart: Fee, she's your daughter. It's as if you never remember that.

    Fiona 'Fee' Cleary: Does any woman? What's a daughter? Just a reminder of the pain... a younger version of oneself... who will do all the same things, cry the same tears. No, Father. I try to forget I have a daughter.

  • Meggie Cleary: What kind of god would shut men out of paradise for loving women?

    Ralph de Bricassart: A god I still can't give up for you.

    Meggie Cleary: I know.
