What the world requires of the Christians is that they should continue to be Christians.

The world in which we were called to exist was an absurd world, and there was no other in which we could take refuge.

We come into the world laden with the weight of an infinite necessity.

Beginning to think is beginning to be undermined. Society has but little connection with such beginnings. The worm is in man's heart. That is where it must be sought. One must follow and understand this fatal game that leads from lucidity in the face of existence to flight from light.

There always comes a time when one must choose between contemplation and action. This is called becoming a man.

Indeed, men never know how to love. nothing satisfies them. All they know is to dream, to imagine new duties, to look for new countries and new homes. While we women, we know that we must hasten to love, to share the same bed, hold hands, and fear absence. When we women love, we dream of nothing.

It is a well-known fact that we always recognize our homeland at the moment we are about to lose it.
