Nicias, do you think you can erase with good deeds the wrongs you committed against your mother? What good deed will ever reach her?

Jean-Paul Sartre
What's done at night belongs to the night. In the daytime you don't talk about it.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I know only one Church: it is the society of men.
