Bernard Cornwell— Mas o que é que você faria com o Graal?
— Eu iria usá-lo.
— Para quê?
— Para livrar o mundo do pecado.
— Seria um trabalho notável, mas nem Cristo conseguiu realizá-lo.
— Você pára de eliminar ervas daninhas entre os vinhedos só porque elas sempre voltam a nascer?

They came across the sea and they fought here, and they built here and they’re buried here. This is our land, mixed with our blood, strengthened with our bone. Ours!” He was angry, but he was often angry. He glowered at me, as if wondering whether I was strong enough to hold this land of Northumbria that our ancestors had won with sword and spear and blood and slaughter.
