Civilization exists precisely so that there may be no masses but rather men alert enough never to constitute masses. – Georges Bernanos
Faith is not a thing which one loses, we merely cease to shape our lives by it. – Georges Bernanos
When you think of the huge uninterrupted success of a book like Don Quixote, youre bound to realize that if humankind have not yet finished being revenged, by sheer laughter, for being let down in their greatest hope, it is because that hope was cherished so long and lay so deep! – Georges Bernanos
I know the compassion of others is a relief at first. I dont despise it. But it cant quench pain, it slips through your soul as through a sieve. And when our suffering has been dragged from one pity to another, as from one mouth to another, we can no longer respect or love it. – Georges Bernanos
