Am I?
:51:06
I don't know.
:51:09
I want her own good.
:51:14
I want her to be happy.
I want to save her from her poverty.

:51:21
Oh, dear!
:51:22
- Why "oh, dear"?
- You are in love.

:51:27
Is that bad?
:51:30
For a monk it does present
certain problems.

:51:34
But doesn't St Thomas Aquinas
praise love above all other virtues?

:51:37
Yes, the love of God, Adso.
The love of God!

:51:47
And the love of... woman?
:51:50
Of woman, Thomas Aquinas
knew precious little.

:51:54
But the Scriptures are very clear.
Proverbs warns us:

:51:59
Woman takes possession of a
man's precious soul.

:52:02
While Ecclesiastics tells us:
:52:04
"More bitter than death is woman."
:52:09
Yes, but what do you think, master?
:52:13
Of course, I don't have the benefit
of your experience...

:52:18
but I find it difficult
to convince myself that...

:52:25
God would have introduced such
a foul being into creation...

:52:29
without endowing her
with some virtues. Hm?

:52:37
How peaceful life would be
without love, Adso.

:52:42
How safe... how tranquil...
:52:49
and how dull.
