Jane Eyre...

"In times of war, you often hear leaders—Christian, Jewish, and Muslim—saying, 'God is on our side.' But that isn't true. In war, God is on the side of refugees, widows, and orphans."

ps - Were you guys talking about Scientology?

Damn, missed that one CG, didn't realize you'd edited your post :)

Sorry Axeion, had to google that quote so eliminating myself from answering your clue :)

We weren't talking of Scientology, but CG was looking for Beckham like handsome eligible, unmarried bachelor - I offered her Tom Cruise, but she turned him down, because she doesn't like the way he thinks.

Not much of a difference between TC and my-ex, who got dumped becoz he like Arundhati Roy. :)

Bluest eye-Toni Morrison, a bit tragic, it was!

Another one-

Robert Cohn was once middleweight boxing champion of Princeton. Do not think that I am very much impressed by that as a boxing title, but it meant a lot to Cohn.
