“The problems arise when we begin to believe literally in our own metaphors” - Langdon, p. 342
Langdon says this to Sophie when she asks him what should be done with the Sangreal documents—part of the holy grail that explains Jesus’s true life. Langdon does not think the documents should be destroyed, but he does not think they should be used to destroy people’s faith.
“It’s the mystery and wonderment that serve our souls, not the Grail itself” - Marie, p.444
In this statement Marie, Sophie’s long lost grandmother, is referring to the secret and amazement of the Grail that serve people’s souls. In this conversation Marie explains that the Priory was never going to announce the Sangreal documents to the world because it serves as a hope and drive to men around the world. It’s the quest to find it they yearn for, not the grail itself.
“I would love nothing more than to meet you in Florence, Robert.” - Sophie, p. 449
After Sophie and Robert had found the true meaning of the grail and Sophie’s true relatives, she agrees to meet Langdon the next month in Italy. This moment demonstrates that the hard part is over and now all that is left is to continue on to the next stage in both of their lives, whatever it might be and wherever it might take them.
