Quotes 

• Daniel : They have an afterworld of their own.

  Father Laforgue : They have no concept of one.

  Daniel : Annuka told me they believe that in the forest at night the dead can see. The souls of men hunt the souls of animals.

  Father Laforgue : Is that what she told you? It is childish, Daniel.

  Daniel : Is it harder to believe in than Paradise where we all sit on clouds and look at God?

• Annuka : A dream is real. It must be obeyed.

  Father Laforgue : We will do as she asks. What can we say to people who think that dreams are the real world; this one is an illusion. Perhaps they're right.

  Daniel : Farewell, Father Laforgue.

  Father Laforgue : No farewells. Not in this land. And no greetings, no names. The forests speak. The dead talk at night. God bless you both.

• [watching Laforgue write in his diary] 

  Chomina : Blackrobe, what you do?

  Father Laforgue : I am making words.

  Chomina : Making words? You not speak.

  Father Laforgue : I will show you. Tell me something.

  Chomina : Tell what?

  Father Laforgue : Something I do not know.

  Chomina : My woman's mother die in snow last winter.

  [Laforgue writes it and shows the book to Daniel] 

  Daniel : It says Chomina's woman's mother died in snow last winter.

  Father Laforgue : I have still other, greater things I can teach you.

  Ougebmat : He is a demon!

• Chomina : Tomorrow do not cry out.

  Daniel : If we do cry out, will they stop (torturing us)?

  Chomina : No, they will not stop. But if you cry out when you die, they will have your spirit.

• Annuka : Is the Blackrobe a demon? He must be. Blackrobes never have sex with women.

  Daniel : It's a promise they make to their God.

  Annuka : Why make a promise like that?

  Daniel : Strange, isn't it?
