    • Quotes
      • Harry: This was the time when I had been married half my life. And we lived in a foreign land, my wife and I and our sons, in a garden where we had everything we want. And God came down through the trees one day, and scratched himself, as if someone had walked over his grave or trod on excrement. And God asked: "What are you going to do?". And I said: "I don't know".
