“Blessed be his name, who hath appointed the quiet night to follow the busy day, and the calm sleep to refresh the wearied limbs and to compose the troubled spirit.””
— Walter Scott
“Possessed of many of those royal qualities for which he was termed by his subjects the August, Philip might be termed the Ulysses, as Richard was indisputably the Achilles, of the Crusade. The King of France was sagacious, wise, deliberate in council, steady and calm in action, seeing clearly, and steadily pursuing, the measures most for the interest of his kingdom”
— Walter Scott
“پیش از آنکه سوار شوند و سفر را از سر گیرند، پهلوان مسیحی بار دیگر لبی تر کرد و دستهای خود را در آب فرو برد و به همسفرش گفت: «ای کاش نام این چشمه گوارا را میدانستم که در خاطر سپاسمند خود حفظ کنم. زیرا هرگز عطش شدید مرا آبی با این گوارایی که امروز نوشیدم فرو ننشانده بود.»- مفهوم نام عربی این چشمه «الماس بیابان» است.- چه نام نیکی بر آن نهادهاند. در دره زادگاه من هزار چشمه است، لیکن از این پس برای هیچیک از آنها خاطره گرانبهایی چون خاطره این چشمه قائل نخواهم شد. چه، گنج مایع خود را در نقطهای ارزانی میدارد که نهتنها گوارا است، بلکه تقریبا ضرورت دارد.- راست میگویی. زیرا هنوز هم آن دریای مرده ملعون است. نه انسان از امواج آن مستفیض میشود و نه حیوان و نه هم از رودی مینوشند که که به دریای میت میریزد بیآنکه آن را پر کند، تا آنکه آن رود از این بیابان نامیمون بگذرد.””
— Walter Scott
