Chaplain Tappman

"There is nothing funny about this."

"The world is crazy and we're the only sane people in it."

"God is dead."

"The only way out is through."

"When I look up, I see people cashing in. I don't see heaven or saints or angels. I see people cashing in on every decent impulse and every human tragedy."

"There is hope, though. There is always hope. Mine is that God is not unmerciful and will take me in his arms."

"God is love, I said, but Major Major said that God is love and I'll court martial you if you say so."

"Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul."

"God is love, the chaplain maintained."

"Some men worship at the altar of reason. I prefer the mysteries."

"The only real authority derives from God."

"The problem is that nobody believes in anything anymore."

"There is hope for the hopeless."

"The truth is never simple."

"Forgive me, sir, but I'm not quite sure what you mean."

"God is love."

"When I grow up, I want to be a fireman."

"There is no time. There is only now."

"I don't understand why they put me on trial. I didn't do anything."

"Anything worth dying for is certainly worth living for."

"The secret to understanding the universe is in the details."

"What a terrible world we live in."

"I don't believe in God but I'm afraid of him."

"It's miraculous. It's a miracle."

"I want to keep my dead to myself."

"Everyone has a cross to bear."
