The Mists of Avalon (2001)

Samantha Mathis: Gwenwyfar

Quotes 

• Gwenhwyfar : I dreamt of you in Glastonbury. You... you opened a curtain into Avalon, and lifted me in.

  Lancelot : It wasn't a dream. I was there, with Morgaine. She lifted you in. But I asked her to do it.

  Gwenhwyfar : So you felt it too.

  Lancelot : But I am sworn to Arthur.

  Gwenhwyfar : As am I.

  Lancelot : So we have nothing to confess.

  Gwenhwyfar : But I have sinned with you in my thoughts.

  Lancelot : Thoughts, are not deeds.

  Gwenhwyfar : But the Bishop says, to think, is to do.

  Lancelot : My thoughts don't answer to the Bishop. If they did, I would burn in Hell a thousand years everytime I see you walk past!

• Gwenhwyfar : I took poison from a witch. I slept with you and your friend, and gave myself to your lust and ungodliness, and all for nothing! All for nothing! No baby, no baby. Where is my baby, Arthur?

  Arthur : It is God's hands now, not ours. Don't cry.

  Gwenhwyfar : God does not reward sinners.

• Gwenhwyfar : There are herbs... that can make a woman conceive, are there not?

  Morgaine : Is that what you want?

  Gwenhwyfar : Please, do not make this harder than it already is.

  Morgaine : There is a charm that is sometimes used. But you surely would never touch it.

  Gwenhwyfar : Tell me, that you are not a witch. Tell me it is not the Devil's own spell. And that I will not burn for it. This time, this one time, I will believe you.

• Gwenhwyfar : You say you are a good man, but you condemn your wife to barrenness for the sake of an oath to painted savages. I despise you, Arthur Pendragon! Neither good Christian, nor good pagan, nor a good husband to me.
