• The world has become sad because a puppet was once melancholy. The nihilist, that strange martyr who has no faith, who goes to the stake without enthusiasm, and dies for what he does not believe in, is a purely literary product.

Literature always anticipates life. It does not copy it, but moulds it to its purpose.

• I would not be a rose upon the wall
  A queen might stop at, near the palace-door,
  To say to a courtier, "Pluck that rose for me,
  It's prettier than the rest." O Romney Leigh!
  I'd rather far be trodden by his foot,
  Than lie in a great queen's bosom.

If God is one, if His love is one, then how can people who believe in God fight?

• Christians believe themselves to be the aristocracy of heaven upon earth, they are admitted to the spiritual court, while millions of men in foreign lands have never been presented.
