God ordains that beggars should beg for greatness, as for all else, when greatness shines out of them, and they don't know it.

Georges Bernanos 56 quotes

To you a pious young girl who...

To you a pious young girl who goes to mass and communion, seems pretty silly and childish; you take us for innocents... Well, let me tell you, sometimes we know more about evil than people who have only learned to offend God.

Georges Bernanos 56 quotes

Fact is Our Lord knew all about the power of money: He gave capitalism a tiny niche in His scheme of things, He gave it a chance, He even provided a first installment of funds. Can you beat that? It's so magnificent. God despises nothing. After all, if the deal had come off, Judas would probably have endowed sanatoriums, hospitals, public libraries or laboratories.

Georges Bernanos 56 quotes

[T]he cradle is shallower than the grave.

Georges Bernanos 56 quotes

The world is eaten up by bore...

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.

Georges Bernanos 56 quotes

Justice in the hands of the p...

Justice in the hands of the powerful is merely a governing system like any other. Why call it justice? Let us rather call it injustice, but of a sly effective order, based entirely on cruel knowledge of the resistance of the weak, their capacity for pain, humilation and misery. Injustice sustained at the exact degree of necessary tension to turn the cogs of the huge machine-for-the-making-of-rich-men, without bursting the boiler.

Georges Bernanos 56 quotes

The devil, you see, is that friend who never stays with us to the end.

Georges Bernanos 56 quotes

And what have you laymen made...

And what have you laymen made of hell? A kind of penal servitude for eternity, on the lines of your convict prisons on earth, to which you condemn in advance all the wretched felons your police have hunted from the beginning - enemies of society, as you call them. You're kind enough to include the blasphemers and the profane. What proud or reasonable man could stomach such a notion of God's justice? And when you find that notion inconvenient it's easy enough for you to put it on one side. Hell is not to love any more, Madame. Not to love any more!

Hell, madam, is to love no longer.

Hope is a risk that must be run.

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

A poor man with nothing in his belly needs hope, illusion, more than bread.

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.

The first sign of corruption in a society that is still alive is that the end justifies the means.

It's a fine thing to rise above pride, but you must have pride in order to do so.

Georges Bernanos 56 quotes

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.

No one ever discovers the depths of his own loneliness.

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