| Georges Bernanosb: Paris, France, Feb 20, 1888 d: Paris, France, Jul 5, 1948 French. Author. Father of modern theological novel who wrote The Diary of a Country Priest, 1937.
A thought which does not result in an action is nothing much, and an action which does not proceed from a thought is nothing at all. Faith is not a thing which one loses, we merely cease to shape our lives by it. It is the perpetual dread of fear, the fear of fear, that shapes the face of a brave man. It's a fine thing to rise above pride, but you must have pride in order to do so. The first sign of corruption in a society that is still alive is that the end justifies the means. The wish to pray is a prayer in itself. God can ask no more than that of us. What a cunning mixture of sentiment, pity, tenderness, irony surrounds adolescence, what knowing watchfulness! Young birds on their first flight are hardly so hovered around. What does the truth matter? Haven't we mothers all given our sons a taste for lies, lies which from the cradle upwards lull them, reassure them, send them to sleep: lies as soft and warm as a breast! |
