Remigius quotes from The Pillars of the Earth

Remigius

He should be using skilled labor, not monks stolen from prayer.

Work is prayer, Brother. In the meantime, I am going to Winchester Market to sell the fleece from our flock. This will bring in money which will allow us to hire workers. Tom is going to Shiring quarry to make arrangements for harvesting the stone. This will serve as our true beginning and our schedule shall be counted from then. Anything else?

Remigius

Forgive me. I was expressing...

Waleran

The miracles, are they real?

Remigius

Who's to say? Cripples walk, the dying are revived, but witchcraft does the same. One thing is certain. More and more pilgrims come every day giving money for the cathedral. That's the greatest miracle of all.

Remigius

I was in love once. Love is a terrible thing. I know, it struck me dead.

Did she die?

Remigius

He hanged himself. And I found him. I loved him and he loved me. How could it be a sin? But I confessed and my confessor made me denounce him to the others. And after he took his life, my confessor made me fix things so that I would never be able to sin like that again.

Is your confessor still alive?

Remigius

Oh yes.

You should denounce him to the Church.

Remigius

He is the Church.
