Dialogue examples
I shall remember this moment. The silence, the twilight, the bowls of strawberries and milk, your faces in the evening light.
And when the Lamb broke the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about the space of half an hour.
Love is the blackest of all plagues, and if one could die of it, there would be some pleasure in love.
Mia, wake up. Wake up! Mia, I've just seen something. I've got to tell you about it!
God has sentenced us to punishment. We shall all perish in the black death.
I see them, Mia! I see them! Over there against the dark, stormy sky.
Are you going to escort the juggler and his wife through the forest?
I want knowledge, not faith, not suppositions, but knowledge.
