• The desert could not be claimed or owned — it was a piece of cloth carried by winds, never held down by stones, and given a hundred shifting names before Canterbury existed, long before battles and treaties quilted Europe and the East ... All of us, even those with European homes and children in the distance, wished to remove the clothing of our countries. It was a place of faith. We disappeared into landscape.

• What's the greatest enemy of Christianity to-day? Frozen meat. In the past only members of the upper classes were thoroughly sceptical, despairing, negative. Why? Among other reasons, because they were the only people who could afford to eat too much meat. Now there's cheap Canterbury lamb and Argentine chilled beef. Even the poor can afford to poison themselves into complete scepticism and despair.

• Del Obispo de Londres hay que observar que, aunque aparentemente de espíritu algo austero, hay en su idiosincrasia un extraño fondo de entusiasmo, cualidad que nunca debería poseer un Arzobispo de Canterbury o un Primer Ministro de Inglaterra. El Obispo de Londres simpatiza con todo lo que es serio; pero lo que es serio no siempre es verdad; por el contrario, el error es a menudo más serio que la verdad.

• We are not responsible for the behavior of anyone that goes contrary to what we teach, any more than the Pope of Rome or the Archbishop of Canterbury or a religious leader who teaches moral law and values can be charged with the errant behavior of a parishioner or congregant who may violate their moral teachings. That is on the individual.

• In the aftermath of the recent wave action in the Indian Ocean, even the archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Rowan Williamson [sic], proved himself a latter-day Voltairean by whimpering that he could see how this might shake belief in a friendly creator. Williamson is of course a notorious fool, who does an almost perfect imitation of a bleating and frightened sheep, but even so, one is forced to rub one's eyes in astonishment. Is it possible that a grown man could live so long and still have his personal composure, not to mention his lifetime job description, upset by a large ripple of seawater?

• Lo que me preocupa y no me gusta es la forma en que la ideología del multiculturalismo ha decaído hasta convertirse en relativismo cultural. Creo que eso es muy peligroso. Cuando el Arzobispo de Canterbury, por el amor de Dios, dice que no se puede tener una ley para todos... eso es estúpido.
