Quotes
Where the letter has killed what the sixteenth century called 'profound faith,' the Christian can choose only between an un-reserved abdication of his reason and the discreet incredulity of devout politicians, between the painful piety of the simple, who submerge their whole life in the supernatural, and amiable piety of men of the world who make the supernatural subservient to the fair fame and elegance of their life.
