Quotes 

• Rowdy Yates : Is it all right?

  Sister Frances : Is what all right?

  Rowdy Yates : Well, is it all right to speak?

  Sister Joan : I've been wondering why you've been silent.

  Rowdy Yates : Have you?

  Sister Joan : Yes, I mean, yes, I think I have.

  Sister Frances : Yes, I'm sure she has.

  Emerald Carney : I'm sure she has too.

• Rowdy Yates : I didn't think there was anything wrong about talking to her about her kinfolk.

  Sister Frances : No, no, of course not. Perhaps, perhaps you've become a symbol to Sister Joan. Your image is part of a world that she used to know. You've been very helpful, very strong. This might affect her decision, but whatever the outcome, it's no fault of yours.

• Sister Frances : We all doubt ourselves. We all feel unworthy.

  Sister Joan : Then why? What is there in it for any of you?

  Sister Frances : Helping others, expressing our faith and devotion in sacrifice. This makes us feel worthwhile. This renews our own strength.

  Sister Joan : I don't have that in me.

  Sister Frances : Oh yes, but you do. The need to serve is very strong in you, Joan, and you must respond to it. For peace of mind and fulfillment. For you, it's the true happiness.

  Sister Joan : I've made up my mind, Sister, I'm not taking my final vows.
