What concerns this dress is a small thing - less than nothing. I did not take it by the advice of any man in the world. I did not take this dress or do anything but by the command of Our Lord and of the Angels.
Joan of ArcIf I be not in a state of grace, I pray God place me in it; if I be in it, I pray God keep me so.
Joan of ArcEvery man gives his life for what he believes. Every woman gives her life for what she believes. Sometimes people believe in little or nothing, nevertheless they give up their lives to that little or nothing. One life is all we have, and we live it as we believe in living it, and then it's gone. But to surrender what you are, and live without belief - that's more terrible than dying - more terrible than dying young.
Joan of ArcAlas! that my body, clean and whole, never been corrupted, today must be consumed and burnt to ashes!
