The Book of Eli quotes
Page 3 of 3Dear Lord, thank you for giving me the strength and the conviction to complete the task you entrusted to me. Thank you for guiding me straight and true through the many obstacles in my path, and keeping me resolute when all around seemed lost. Thank you for your protection and your many signs along the way. Thank you for any good I may have done, and I'm so sorry about the bad. Thank you for the friend I made. Please watch over her as you have watched over me. Thank you for finally allowing me to rest. I am so very tired. But I go now to my rest, at peace, knowing that I have done right in my time on this Earth, I fought the good fight. I finished the race. I kept the faith.
I can't imagine what it must feel like, having what you want so close, and it might as well be a million miles away.
I know what I heard. I know what I hear. I know I'm not crazy.
I need that book. I want that book!
We lost a lot of men. You need me more than ever. Now, you say that book's worth the trouble. Well, I believe you, but I want Solara for it.
You worked so hard for that book. You sacrificed so much. So many men... more than you could spare. Now all those people who were too scared to even say your name, they're downstairs tearing up the bar right now. Did you know that? And there's no one there to stop them.
[After dictating the whole bible to Lombardi who had transcribed it]
Dear Lord, thank you for giving me the strength and the conviction ... to complete the task you entrusted to me. Thank you for guiding me, straight and true, through the many obstacles in my path, and for keeping me resolute when all around seemed lost. Thank you for your protection and for your many signs along the way. Thank you for any good that I may have done. I'm so sorry about the bad.
[Quoting scripture of Genesis 3:18]
Cursed be the ground, for our sake. Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth, for us, for out of the ground we were taken for the dust that we are... and to the dust we shall return.
