What people adore about superhero movies is the signal quality of the Christopher Nolan films - their complete lack of irony when it comes to the portrayal of heroism and the need for heroes to confront evil.

For me growing up Christmas time was always the most fantastic exciting time of year and you'd stay up until three in the morning. You'd hear the parents wrapping in the other room but you knew that also maybe they were in collusion with Santa Claus.

This morning in the Washington Post there was a statistic about how 85% of Americans are Christians.

I got up one Christmas morning and we didn't have nothing to eat. We didn't have an apple we didn't have an orange we didn't have a cake we didn't have nothing.

I was lucky enough to grow up in a home where I woke up Christmas morning and had toys. I know that's not the case with all people and I don't think kids should go without experiencing that sort of joy.

The two most joyous times of the year are Christmas morning and the end of school.

There's nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and not be a child.

There is a great difference between Christianity and religion at the south. If a man goes to the communion table and pays money into the treasury of the church no matter if it be the price of blood he is called religious.

My story is the story of countless millions of children whose families and nations were torn apart for money in the name of Jesus Christ.

I grew up with the classics. My mom and I would sit and watch 'Singin' in the Rain' and 'White Christmas' - those kind of movies.

I've changed my life in a lot of ways. I'm a mom a wife and a Christian. Some of the things I expressed in my early 20s aren't what I care to express right now.

Aretha Franklin was a teenage mom a musician who came from an incredibly Christian background but there was a lot of love which is really inspiring in a feminist way.

I loved raising my kids. I loved the process the dirt of it the tears of it the frustration of it Christmas Easter birthdays growth charts pediatrician appointments. I loved all of it.

The new pope knows that his task is to make the light of Christ shine before men and women of world - not his own light but that of Christ.

Bloody Christmas here again let us raise a loving cup peace on earth goodwill to men and make them do the washing up.

A strong argument for the religion of Christ is this - that offences against Charity are about the only ones which men on their death-beds can be made - not to understand - but to feel - as crime.

Of all religions the Christian should of course inspire the most tolerance but until now Christians have been the most intolerant of all men.

Whatever makes men good Christians makes them good citizens.

The Christian's Bible is a drug store. Its contents remain the same but the medical practice changes.

I'm receiving 300 to 500 letters every week from people telling me that God used my stories to save their marriage or to introduce them to Christ or to heal a relationship that had been broken.

I would like it to be known that I have decided not to marry Group Capt. Peter Townsend. Mindful of the church's teaching that Christian marriage is indissoluble and conscious of my duty to the Commonwealth I have resolved to put these considerations before any others.

I was a Christian. I didn't want to have sex before marriage I was a bit uptight and not very self-confident. I was a virgin until I was 26.

Love always involves responsibility and love always involves sacrifice. And we do not really love Christ unless we are prepared to face His task and to take up His Cross.

There is only one secure foundation: a genuine deep relationship with Jesus Christ which will carry you through any and all turmoil. No matter what storms are raging all around you'll stand firm if you stand on His love.
