Now she realized that she was not peering at a so-dark-blue-it-looked-black ocean, but rather she was looking straight through miles of incredibly clear water at something enormous and black in its nethermost depths. Maybe it was the bottom--so deep ...
Behrani: Today God has kissed our eyes.

Father Dominic Moran: So what happened to your eye, Bobby? Bobby Sands: What? Father Dominic Moran: Did you get a dig for yourself? Your eye. Bobby Sands: Difference of opinion. Father Dominic Moran: Mmm. How's the other fella? Bobby Sands: Oh, a lot...
Our fathers fought bravely. But do you know the biggest weapon unleashed by the enemy against them? It was not the Maxim gun. It was division among them. Why? Because a people united in faith are stronger than the bomb
