Vanessa Redgrave: Mature Jenny

Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Mature Jenny : [narrating]  I had made Nonnatus House my home. When I needed peace and comfort, when I needed to grieve and to be restored, I did not go far. It was as though its roof still sheltered me, as though I was still safe within its walls.

• [last lines] 

  Mature Jenny : [narrating]  Perfection is not a polished thing. It is often simply something that is sincerely meant. Perfection is a job complete, praise given, prayer heard. It can be kindness shown, thanks offered up.

  Mature Jenny : [as Sally opens a gift package]  Perfection is what we discover in each other, what we see reflected back.

  Mature Jenny : [Sister Evangelina accepts a modest bouquet from Vincent]  And if perfection eludes us, that doesn't matter. For what we have within the moment is enough.
