Quotes 

• Brother Matías : God be with you, brother. Where's the milk for the monastery?

  Dwarf Goatherd : Some whore breathed on it and curdled it.

• Dwarf Goatherd : [looking at his goat's udder]  Look what a pair of beauties. You just touch them, and they firm up.

  Brother Matías : Abide with God, brother. Don't love those animals so. The devil roams this wilderness.

  Dwarf Goatherd : I hear him in the night.

• Simon : Zenón! Zenón, listen to me. Send that beardless youth away.

  Brother Matías : Me?

  Simon : It is not fitting for him to live near the temptations of the devil. Tell him not to return until his beard covers his cheeks.

  Zenón : Thank you for your advice, fruit of your sound judgement.

  [to Brother Matías] 

  Zenón : You may leave the monastery to return home, Matías. When your face is covered with hair, you may return.
