More quotes by Georges Bernanos
It is the perpetual dread of fear, the fear of fear, that shapes the face of a brave man.
Georges Bernanos
Lust is a mysterious wound in the side of humanity or rather, at the very source of its life! To confound this lust in man with that desire which unites the sexes is like confusing a tumor with the very organ which it devours, a tumor whose very deformity horribly reproduces the shape.
Georges Bernanos
Suicide only really frightens those who are never tempted by it and never will be, for its darkness only welcomes those who are predestined to it.
Georges Bernanos
Truth is meant to save you first, and the comfort comes afterwards.
Georges Bernanos
To you a pious young girl who goes to mass and communion, seems pretty silly and childish you take us for innocents... Well, let me tell you, sometimes we know more about evil than people who have only learned to offend God.
Georges Bernanos
There is nothing that God hates so much as a liar.
Georges Bernanos
You owe it to everyone you love to find pockets of tranquility in your busy world.
Georges Bernanos

Georges Bernanos
Appearances are nothing.... And first of all they should not be feared, they are only dangerous to the weak.
Georges Bernanos

Georges Bernanos
Civilization exists precisely so that there may be no masses but rather men alert enough never to constitute masses.
Georges Bernanos
If hell has no answer for the questioning dead, it is not because it refuses to answer (for rigorous, alas, in observance, is the imperishable fire), but it is because hell has nothing to say, will say nothing eternally.
Georges Bernanos
A large number of suspects, both men and women, escaped martial law for lack of any shred of evidence against them on which a court-martial could convict. So they began setting them free in groups, according to their birth-place. But half-way, the car-load would be emptied into a ditch.
Georges Bernanos
The wish to pray is a prayer in itself.
Georges Bernanos
What does it matter, all is grace.
Georges Bernanos
To be able to share in another's joy, that is the secret of happiness.
Georges Bernanos
A poor man with nothing in his belly needs hope, illusion, more than bread.
Georges Bernanos
The devil, you see, is that friend who never stays with us to the end.
Georges Bernanos
Hell, madame, is to love no longer.
Georges Bernanos
