Where does discipline end? Where does cruelty begin? Somewhere between these, thousands of children inhabit a voiceless hell.

What I fear is not being forg...

What I fear is not being forgotten after my death, but, rather, not being enough forgotten. As we were saying, it is not our books that survive, but our poor lives that linger in the histories.

A good critic is the sorcerer who makes some hidden spring gush forth unexpectedly under our feet.

I love Germany so much I'm glad there are two of them.

Every novel worthy of the name is like another planet, whether large or small, which has its own laws just as it has its own flora and fauna.

The scapegoat has always had the mysterious power of unleashing man's ferocious pleasure in torturing, corrupting, and befouling.

The Eucharist engages us unre...

The Eucharist engages us unreservedly; it is a pact of love, an alliance signed in the deeper recesses of our being. All our potentialities are called upon to warrant the protection and fulfillment of this pact.

A cemetery saddens us because it is the only place of the world in which we do not meet our dead again.

Did you ever have a conversat...

Did you ever have a conversation with someone who misunderstood everything you had to say? It's exhausting, and the ironic part is that the more you try and explain yourself, the more mixed up things become. Your best friend knows when you're kidding, venting, and tired. He or she knows you and therefore doesn't read into the things you say.

The man who partakes in the b...

The man who partakes in the breaking of the bread dares to build his house on the very core of love. He becomes, as it were, Godlike, but regardless of the strength he derives from it, his free will remains. We are always free to disown this immense grace, to abuse it. The Greatest Love may be betrayed. Fed on the Living Bread, we nevertheless conceal a part of ourselves which longs for swine's food.

Being for every man the touch...

Being for every man the touchstone of faith and love, the Eucharist, like on the Cross, divided the minds as soon as it was announced... Nothing engages a man as much as does the Eucharist

A writer is essentially a man who does not resign himself to loneliness.

It seems that, after nineteen...

It seems that, after nineteen centuries of extraordinary glorification, the small Host for which so many cathedrals have sprung up, the small Host that has rested in millions of breasts and that has found a tabernacle and worshippers even in the desert - it seems that the triumphant Host of Lourdes and the Eucharistic Congresses of Chicago and Carthage remains as unknown, as secret as when it appeared for the first time in a room in Jerusalem. Light is in the world as in the days of St. John the Baptist, and the world does not know it

I write whenever it suits me....

I write whenever it suits me. During a creative period I write every day; a novel should not be interrupted. When I cease to be carried along, when I no longer feel as though I were taking down dictation, I stop.

Let us be wary of ready-made ...

Let us be wary of ready-made ideas about cowardice and courage: the same burden weighs infinitely more heavily on some shoulders than on others.

Fransua Mauriac 6 quotes

We are, all of us, molded and...

We are, all of us, molded and remolded by those who have loved us, and though that love may pass, we remain none the less their work--a work that very likely they do not recognize, and which is never exactly what they intended.

Men resemble great deserted palaces: the owner occupies only a few rooms and has closed-off wings where he never ventures.

Tell me what you read and I'll tell you who you are is true enough, but I'd know you better if you told me what you reread.

Fransua Mauriac 6 quotes

The temples of those who deny the Real Presence are like corpses. The Lord was taken away and we do not know where they have laid Him.

The grandeur of man lies in song, not in thought.
