Medieval justice was a quaint thing.

There is something dark and wintry about the atmosphere of the later Middle Ages.

I like weeding, but I tend to think of it as a solitary activity.

We forget how bawdy and brutal the Middle Ages were.

It was then, I think, that I discovered that the best way of bringing a medieval subject home to my generation was not to be medieval in its treatment.

What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have never been discovered.

I was nuts for stuff in the Middle Ages when I was just in the third and fourth grades.

Of middle age the best that can be said is that a middle-aged person has likely learned how to have a little fun in spite of his troubles.

I was a weedy kid, not like one of those working-class men who can accommodate not being academically clever by physical strength and prowess.
