Mr. Pip Quote

Dolores Naimo: I know you kids have been hearing some story from Mr Watts, but I'm here to tell you that stories have a job to do. They can't just lie around like lazybone dogs. They have to teach you something. That's why I brought a book... the Good Book. [holds up the Bible]
Dolores Naimo: When the missionaries came, they taught us to believe in God. But when we asked to see God, they wouldn't introduce him to us. So many people prefer to live by the wisdom of the crabs and the firefish that is shaped like the Southern Star. You must believe in something. 'God said, Let there be light, and there was light.' There is no sentence more beautiful in the world than that one.
