There is nothing that God hates so much as a liar.
Georges Bernanos
I have done no passably decent job in this world which did not at first seem to me useless - absurdly useless, useless to the point of nausea. My secret demon is called:: What's the use?
Georges Bernanos
Purity is not imposed upon us as though it were a kind of punishment, it is one of those mysterious but obvious conditions of that supernatural knowledge of ourselves in the Divine, which we speak of as faith. Impurity does not destroy this knowledge, it slays our need for it.
Georges Bernanos
[T]he cradle is shallower than the grave.
Georges Bernanos
Hell, madame, is to love no longer.
Georges Bernanos
Appearances are nothing.... And first of all they should not be feared, they are only dangerous to the weak.
Georges Bernanos
All her life she [Chantal] had been carefully, heroically watching over mediocre beings who were hardly real, over things of no value.
Georges Bernanos
The devil, you see, is that friend who never stays with us to the end.
Georges Bernanos
You owe it to everyone you love to find pockets of tranquility in your busy world.
Georges Bernanos
Justice in the hands of the powerful is merely a governing system like any other. Why call it justice?
Georges Bernanos
Fear, true fear, is a savage frenzy. Of all the insanities of which we are capable, it is surely the cruelest. There is naught to equal its drive, and naught can survive its thrust.
Georges Bernanos
Faith is not a thing which one loses, we merely cease to shape our lives by it.
Georges Bernanos
Rather than the obsession with impurity, you'd do better to fear the nostalgia for purity.
Georges Bernanos
Who are you to condemn another's sin? He who condemns sin becomes part of it, espouses it.
Georges Bernanos
First of all, be what you are.
Georges Bernanos
A thought which does not result in an action is nothing much, and an action which does not proceed from a thought is nothing at all.
Georges Bernanos
Our rages, daughters of despair, creep and squirm like worms. Prayer is the only form of revolt which remains upright.
Georges Bernanos
God! how is it that we fail to recognize that the mask of pleasure, stripped of all hypocrisy, is that of anguish?
Georges Bernanos
Truth is meant to save you first, and the comfort comes afterwards.
Georges Bernanos
Optimism has always seemed to me the cunning alibi of egoists, anxious to cover up their state of chronic self-satisfaction. They are optimists in order to avoid pitying other men and their misfortune. ~~ Yet pity is a vexed question.
Georges Bernanos
