A family, three generations of women, we can clearly see the transformation in it. This is because of the changing times, but also because of personal growth. It's just a pity that real life is often not so beautiful. Perhaps, the daughter will fall into a deeper quagmire than the mother.
On the one hand there is the reconciliation of mother and daughter, and on the other hand the reconciliation of religious and secular. Either way, it's the hardest choice in life. In my opinion, the most unacceptable thing about religion is: unconditional obedience. Betray your inner desire and betray your natural impulse to obey. I don't want to obey, not to fight, but to do what I want to do.

The Thorn Birds quotes

  • Dane O'Neill: Mom, is this you? Oh, you were beautiful.

    Meggie Cleary: Were? Oh the cruelty of youth.

    Fiona 'Fee' Cleary: It was a lovely dress. Blue wasn't it?

    Meggie Cleary: No, Mum, yours was blue.

    Ralph de Bricassart: Meggie's dress was rose. "Ashes of Roses", it was called. And in it, she was the most beautiful thing any of us had ever seen.

  • Ralph de Bricassart: How will we live without him?

    Meggie Cleary: We will. Your God gathers in the good ones... and leaves the living to those of us whom fail. Your greedy God! There *is* no peace with him!
