The Da Vinci Code Starters;

“The ancient male symbol was the blade, it's a basic phallus. It's still used today on military uniforms.” “Yes, and the more penises you have, the higher your rank. Boys will be boys!” “She has some things she wants to tell me. About my family.” “What will you do? The legend will be revealed when the heir reveals himself.” “ History shows us Jesus was an extraordinary man, a human inspiration. That's it. That's all the evidence has ever proved.” “ Sometimes I wonder if I wasn't alone down there.” “ Why does it have to be human or divine? Maybe human is divine.” “ Why couldn't Jesus have been a father and still be capable of all those miracles?” “ Like turning water into wine?” “ So again I say, what matters is what you believe.” “ Thank you. For bringing me here. For letting him choose you.” “ Nobody hates history. They hate their own histories.” “ It is called scotoma. The mind sees what it wants to see.” “ There was every orb conceivable on that tomb except one.” “ She rests at last beneath starry skies.” “ Maybe there is something about this Priory of Sion.” “ I hope not. Any Priory story ends in bloodshed. They were butchered by the Church.” “ But the Templars were created to protect the Holy Land.” “ That was a cover to hide their true goal, according to this myth.” “ Did they find it, this buried treasure?” “ What artifact? I've never heard about any of this.” “ Yes, you have. Almost everyone on earth has. You just know it as the Holy Grail.” “ As long as there has been one true God, there has been killing in his name.” “ What really matters is what you believe.” “ So dark the con of man...” “ We are who we protect, I think.” “ The Bible did not arrive by Fax from Heaven.” “ Each breath you take is a sin. No shadow will be safe again, for you will be hunted by angels.” “ Did that old cannabis charge finally catch up with me?” “ You will not succeed. Only the worthy can unlock the stone.” “ It hides beneath the rose.“ “ If it's that important to stop us, you'll have to shoot us.” “ You know, I could run them over if you wish, sir.” “ We are what we protect, what we stand up for.” “ You and your brethren possess what is not rightfully yours.” “ Is it a secret you will die for?” “ What, this trifle? Perhaps we can make a financial arrangement.”

[ Tumblr is playing games today. Charming. I need to write up a new bio for him today, because I was fed up over the theme last night - so pretty much gave up trying once everything was done and didn’t get to the all important info page. The wikia details don’t even come close - so I’ll be working on that at some point today. ]

Symbols carry different meanings in different settings.

The Da Vinci Code

[ofsymbols-blog]

Robert Langdon: Religious allegory has been a part of the fabric of reality. And living in that reality helps millions of people cope and be better people.

Sophie Neveu: But it appears their reality is false.

Robert Langdon: No more false than that of a mathematical cryptographer who believes in the imaginary number 'i' because it helps her break codes.

You say you hate history. Nobody hates history. They hate their own histories.

Angels & Demons

Robert Langdon: I'm an academic. My mind tells me I will never understand God.

Camerlengo Patrick McKenna: And your heart?

Robert Langdon: Tells me I'm not meant to. Faith is a gift that I have yet to receive.
