Quotes
- “Roper: This was not practical; this was moral!More: Oh, now I understand you, Will. Morality's not practical. Morality's a gesture. A complicated gesture learned from books.”
- “Cromwell: You brought yourself to where you are now.More: Yes. Still, in another sense, I was brought.”
- “Cromwell: The King's a man of conscience and he wants either Sir Thomas More to bless his marriage or Sir Thomas More destroyed.Rich: They seem odd alternatives, Secretary.Cromwell: Do they? That's because you're not a man of conscience. If the King destroys a man, that's proof to the King that it must have been a bad man, the kind of man a man of conscience ought to destroy — and of course a bad man's blessing's not worth having. So either will do.”
- “More: I will not take the oath. I will not tell you why I will not.Norfolk: Then your reasons must be treasonable!More: Not "must be;" may be.Norfolk: It's a fair assumption!More: The law requires more than an assumption; the law requires a fact.”
- “Cromwell: You don't seem to appreciate the seriousness of your position.More: I defy anyone to live in that cell for a year and not appreciate the seriousness of his position.Cromwell: Yet the State has harsher punishments.More: You threaten like a dockside bully.Cromwell: How should I threaten?More: Like a Minister of State, with justice!Cromwell: Oh, justice is what you're threatened with.More: Then I'm not threatened.”
- “More: You want me to swear to the Act of Succession?Margaret: "God more regards the thoughts of the heart than the words of the mouth." Or so you've always told me.More: Yes.Margaret: Then say the words of the oath and in your heart think otherwise.More: What is an oath then but words we say to God?”
