“So soon as a fashion is universal, it is out of date”

“The more the fruits of knowledge become accessible to men, the more widespread is the decline of religious”

“Time bears away all things, even our minds”

“There is always something ridiculous about the emotions of people whom one has ceased to love”

“Our headstrong passions shut the door of our souls against God.”

“To cease to think creatively is but little different from ceasing to live”
