Faith is not a thing which one 'loses', we merely cease to shape our lives by it.
From Georges Bernanos
Hell, madam, is to love no longer.
The wish to pray is a prayer in itself. God can ask no more than that of us.
The modern state no longer has anything but rights; it does not recognize duties any more.
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.
Civilization exists precisely so that there may be no masses but rather men alert enough never to constitute masses.
Truth is meant to save you first, and the comfort comes afterward.
