Quotes

“Tu seras invendable à perpétuité, l'Invendable, dans tes livres aussi bien que dans ta personne, et ainsi se réalisera tout à fait la séparation, naturellement désirée par toi, d'avec les vendeurs et les gens à vendre.”
“Woe to him who has not begged!There is nothing more exalted than to beg.God begs. The Angels beg. Kings, Prophets, and Saints beg.”
“Ah! The happy ones of this world who are assured their daily bread—that is, all the things necessary to bodily life—and who, not wishing to know Jesus, have never for one single instant had the idea of suffering for their brothers, of sacrificing themselves for the wretched: ah! indeed! such people are assuredly well qualified to judge me and to reproach me for not having what the world calls dignity!”
“My anger is the effervescence of my pity.”
“Unhappy writer, you had dreamt of winning souls and you have won nothing but ears!”
“You had hoped that the beloved and noble images flowing from your heart would serve as a river to carry to God many another heart! But, as you see, people are afraid of getting wet.”
