Alas! that my body, clean and whole, never been corrupted, today must be consumed and burnt to ashes!
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 ArcI saw them with my bodily eyes as clearly as I see you. And when they departed, I used to weep and wish they would take me with them.
