Georges Bernanos
Image
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
Image
I have just discovered something I have always known: we can no more escape from one another than we can escape from God.
Georges Bernanos
Image
There is nothing that God hates so much as a liar.
Georges Bernanos
Image
Rather than the obsession with impurity, you'd do better to fear the nostalgia for purity.
Georges Bernanos
Image
The modern state no longer has anything but rights it does not recognize duties any more.
Georges Bernanos
Image
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?
