McEwan's Atonementâ€¦truly dazzles, proving to be as much about the art and morality of writing as it is about the pastâ€¦. The middle section of Atonement, the two vividly realized set pieces of Robbie's trek to the Channel and Briony's experiences with the wounded evacuees of Dunkirk, would alone have made an outstanding novelâ€¦. There is wonderful writing throughout as McEwan weaves his many themes â€” the accidents of contingency, the sins of absent fathers, class oppression â€” into his narrative, and in a magical love scene.

What a joy it is to read a book that shocks one into remembering just how high one's literary standards should be.â€¦ a tour de force by one of England's best novelistsâ€¦. Atonement is a spectacular book; as good a novel â€” and more satisfyingâ€¦â€” than anything McEwan has writtenâ€¦.sublimely written narrativeâ€¦. The Dunkirk passage is a stupendous piece of writing, a set piece that could easily stand on its own.â€¦

A divided heart loses both worlds.
I sought them far and found them, The sure, the straight, the brave, The hearts I lost my own to, The souls I could not save They braced their belts about them, They crossed in ships the sea, They sought and found six feet of ground, And there they died for me.
Do you know what it is to be a man violently in love? To live for a woman's smiles and laughter, to hunger for her touch until life itself seems impossible without it, to desire her as you desire to breathe?
Whoever desires this world must seek its knowledge, and whoever desires the next must seek its knowledge.
As a pastor, I have a deep desire to lead people to God and encourage people to pray, read the Bible, and carry their faith into every part of their lives.
You can have whatever you want if you believe in yourself and keep your feet firmly planted in the ground.
You have to love what you do to want to do it everyday.
