"'so simple in itself, or so it appears, so little and unlikely, worth nothing, or less. But the knight who knew of the power knitted in it would pay a high price to posses it, perhaps. For the body which is bound within this green belt...will be safe against anyone who tries to strike him" (Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, pg. 143, ln. 1850).
"Because the belt you are bound with belongs to me; it was woven by my wife so I know it very well. And I know of your courtesies, and conduct, and kisses, and the wooing of my wife-for it was all my work! I sent her to test you-and in truth it turns out you're by far the most faultless fellow on earth" (Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, pg. 179, ln. 2360).
