Quotes 

• Brother John : I don't mind if I am just a grain of sand in a machine. Because I know by putting more and more grains of sand in a machine, one day it'll come grinding to a stop.

  Thomas a Becket : And on that day - what then?

  Brother John : Well, we'll have a fine, new, well-oiled machine in the place of the old one. And this time we'll put the Normans into it instead. That's what justice means, doesn't it?

• Brother John : You betrayed your Saxon race, now you betray God.

  Thomas a Becket : Perhaps you will succeed in teaching me humility, it's a virtue I've never really mastered.
