This is a really good sentence, I think:

"For Mark, the Gospel, like human life itself, begins with a cry and ends with a tomb, and in between is the noise and turbulence of the sea."

Eamon Duffy, Walking to Emmaus.

I've read a lot of his books, but I've never actually heard him.

I heard him a fair few times when I was at Cambridge, including at least one sermon, but since I was specialising in New Testament rather than church history, I didn't go to his regular lectures or get supervised by him or anything like that.
