Quote
- Adso of Melk: Doesn't St. Thomas Aquinas praise love above all other virtues?
- William of Baskerville: Yes, the love of God, Adso. The love of God.
- Adso of Melk: Oh... And the love of woman?
- William of Baskerville: Of woman? Thomas Aquinas knew precious little, but the scriptures are very clear. Proverbs warns us, "Woman takes possession of a man's precious soul", while Ecclesiastes tells us, "More bitter than death is woman".
