A woman uses her intelligence to find reasons to support her intuition.

Women have a thirst for order and beauty as for something physical; there is a strange female power of hating ugliness and waste as good men can only hate sin and bad men virtue.

Virtue is not the absence of vices or the avoidance of moral dangers; virtue is a vivid and separate thing, like pain or a particular smell.

A strange fanaticism fills our time: the fanatical hatred of morality, especially of Christian morality.

There are no uninteresting things, only uninterested people.

For the only courage worth calling courage must necessarily mean that the soul passes a breaking point and does not break.

In truth the Church is too unique to prove herself unique. For most popular and easy proof is by parallel; and here there is no parallel.
