Georges Bernanos Quotes

Faith is not a thing which one loses, we merely cease to shape our lives by it Picture Quote #1

Little things seem nothing, but they give peace, like those meadow flowers which individually seem odorless but all together perfume the air Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

It is the perpetual dread of fear, the fear of fear, that shapes the face of a brave man Picture Quote #1

The modern state no longer has anything but rights; it does not recognize duties any more Picture Quote #1

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! Picture Quote #1

You owe it to everyone you love to find pockets of tranquility in your busy world Picture Quote #1

Optimism approves of everything, submits to everything, believes everything; it is the virtue above all of the taxpayer Picture Quote #1

The world is eaten up by boredom. You can’t see it all at once. It is like dust. You go about and never notice, you breathe it in, you eat and drink it. It is sifted so fine, it doesn’t even grit on your teeth. But stand still for an instant and there it is, coating your face and hands Picture Quote #1

God ordains that beggars should beg for greatness, as for all else, when greatness shines out of them, and they don’t know it Picture Quote #1

I know the compassion of others is a relief at first. I don’t despise it. But it can’t quench pain, it slips through your soul as through a sieve. And when our suffering has been dragged from one pity to another, as from one mouth to another, we can no longer respect or love it Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

God! how is it that we fail to recognize that the mask of pleasure, stripped of all hypocrisy, is that of anguish? Picture Quote #1

Suicide only really frightens those who are never tempted by it and never will be, for its darkness only welcomes those who are predestined to it Picture Quote #1

Fear, true fear, is a savage frenzy. Of all the insanities of which we are capable, it is surely the cruelest. There is naught to equal its drive, and naught can survive its thrust Picture Quote #1
