“Menschenähnlich, aber gleichzeitig fremd wirkte das Orakel auf Zacharias. Oder er? Plötzlich war sich Zacharias sicher, dass sie einen Mann vor sich hatten, auch wenn der weite Kittel, das kurze Haar und die teils kantigen und dennoch weichen Gesichtszüge die Gestalt auf dem Stuhl androgyn wirken ließen.
Blass und kränklich sah sein Gesicht im Fackelschein aus. Wahrscheinlich war es dem Magischen nie vergönnt, das Tageslicht zu sehen.
Falten hatten sich um seine Augen und Mundwinkel eingegraben, die glühenden Augen lagen tief in ihren Höhlen. Die Eisenketten an seinen Handgelenken klirrten, als er sich aufrichtete und sie einen nach dem anderen musterte. Das Orakel verzog keine Miene, dennoch konnte jeder im Raum spüren, wie wenig sie hier willkommen waren.
Er sah müde aus.
Unerwartetes Mitleid überkam Zacharias. Verflucht, Brunhilde hatte recht. Er war einfach zu weich!”

“Mensen zijn betekenisdieren. Ze kropen bij elkaar, begonnen op den duur met elkaar te praten, noodzakelijkerwijs, gaven de dingen en elkaar een naam en sindsdien is er betekenis, sinds het mogelijk was tegen de een Piet en tegen de ander Jan te zeggen. Er is helemaal geen waarheid van Piet en Jan, maar met de namen kwam wel het verlangen naar de onderscheiding, een verlangen naar de waarheid, dat het werkelijk iets zou betekenen, Jan te zijn of Piet. Nu zijn we al lang geen dieren meer en blijven zoeken naar betekenis en zin. Het is een vloek en tegelijk is het mooi, van nutteloosheid.”

“Menstruosity was the condition of being menstruous. And menstruous had once meant horribly filthy or polluted. Menstruous. Like monstrous. It came closest to explaining how I felt. Lizzie had called it “The Curse". She had never heard of menstruation and laughed when I said it.”

“Mental discipline, prayer and remoteness from the world and its disturbing visions reduce temptation to a minimum, but they can never entirely abolish it. In medieval traditions, abbeys and convents were always considered to be expugnable centres of revolt against infernal dominion on earth. They became, accordingly, special targets. Satan, issuing orders at nightfall to his foul precurrers, was rumoured to dispatch to capital cities only one junior fiend. This solitary demon, the legend continues, sleeps at his post. There is no work for him; the battle was long ago won. But monasteries, those scattered danger points, become the chief objectives of nocturnal flight; the sky fills with the beat of sable wings as phalanx after phalanx streams to the attack, and the darkness crepitates with the splintering of a myriad lances against the masonry of asceticism.”
