Quotes 

• Nun : You made one mistake. You said "after we die eternity begins". Eternity has no beginning, it has no end. Eternity can't come after life, eternity includes life. We make eternity, every hour, every day, every second. We choose what our eternity will be.

• Nun : Something troubling you, doctor?

  Dr. Werner Ernst : What? Oh! I was just daydreaming.

  Nun : A teacher once told me: "Be careful what you dream, for you shall become as your dream".

• Nun : we all suffer. Suffering teaches us to love each another. When we see others suffer, we love them and we comfort them... Because we've suffered and we remember what it's like to suffer pain or loneliness... And to have a cool hand touch our brow. And to have a person who loves us for no reason. Listen to your heart.

• Nun : You can change. You can teach yourself to love what's important.

  Dr. Werner Ernst : No matter what we love, it won't be with us after we die. Our bodies, our minds, everything will be gone.

  Nun : In eternity, I will still be here holding this man's hand and praying. You will still be here, asking me these questions and struggling to love me - and to love this man and to love yourself. God will still be here. And everyone who ever lived will still be here too.
