“God save us always,' I said 'from the innocent and the good.”
“God save us from religion.”
“God save us from gloomy saints!”
“God save us from idealists! They dream of a world without injustice, and what crime won't they commit to get it! I swear, Mirella, I'll settle for a world with good manners.”
“God save us from people who mean well.”
“Never does our good God leave us save to hold us better; never does He let go of us save to keep us better; never does He wrestle with us save to give Himself up to us and to bless us.”
