Canterbury Quotes

“have you killed me, false thief?”
― Chaucer Geoffrey, Selections from Chaucer - Scholar's Choice Edition

“Unbar the doors! throw open the doors!
I will not have the house of prayer, the church of Christ,
The sanctuary, turned into a fortress.
The Church shall protect her own, in her own way, not
As oak and stone; stone and oak decay,
Give no stay, but the Church shall endure.
The church shall be open, even to our enemies. Open the door!”
― T.S. Eliot, Murder in the Cathedral
