Remigio da Varagine: Why? I don't know... why.
Bernardo Gui: Because you were inspired by the Devil?
Remigio da Varagine: Yes. That's it. I was inspired by the Devil! I am... inspired by the devvvvilll! Lucifer! I summon you.
William of Baskerville: The only evidence I see of the antichrist here is everyones desire to see him at work.
Remigio da Varagine: In the twelve years I have lived here, I have done nothing but stuff my belly, shag my wick, and squeeze the hungry peasants for tithes.

William of Baskerville: She is already burnt flesh, Adso. Bernardo Gui has spoken: she is a witch.

Adso of Melk: Do you think that this is a place abandoned by God?
William of Baskerville: Have you ever known a place where God would have felt at home?
William of Baskerville: Adso, if I knew the answers to everything, I would be teaching theology in Paris.
Voice of Adso as an Old Man: Who was she? Who was this creature that rose like the dawn, as bewitching as the moon, radiant as the sun, terrible as an army poised for battle?
