How good it would be to know where to look for help in this life and what to expect after it, there, beyond the grave! How happy and calm I'd be, if I could say now: Lord, have mercy on me! ... But to whom shall I say it? Either it is an indefinable, unfathomable power, which I not only cannot address, but which I cannot express in words - the great all or nothing...or it is that God of whom Princess Marya has sewn in here, in this amulet? Nothing, nothing is certain, except the... Leo Tolstoy

But he liked what he’d heard, Jimmy Sr could tell that. He gave Jimmy Sr a dig in the stomach. -You’re not a bad oul’ cunt yourself, he said. Roddy Doyle
