Stephen Fry
“Those who rule the world get so little opportunity to run about and laugh and play in it.”
Stephen Fry, The Fry Chronicles

“I had a long talk with my dear Fat Mary that night, because I had many questions. Could someone actually be beaten to death by such a nun? Did Mother Rufina, the new Superior, know that Sister Clotilda was so cruel? Who let her work with children? Could nuns go to hell?
Fat Mary told me she didn’t know the answers to my questions, but she reminded me that it was her role to take my worries and burdens and keep them for me until a time when I could understand them.”
Maria Nhambu, Africa's Child
