I learned from the example of my father that the manner in which one endures what must be endured is more important than the thing that must be endured.
“I say what I feel. I try to be tactful, but I can't not say what I feel. I have a really big problem with that.”
“But I remember the moment when my father died. I wasn't a very committed Catholic beforehand, but when that happened it suddenly all felt so obvious: I now believe religion is our attempt to find an explanation, for us to feel more protected.”
