“What humbugs we are, who pretend to live for Beauty, and never see the Dawn!”
“We must have humbug, we all like humbug, we couldn't get on without humbug.”
“There is a beautiful transparency to honest disciples who never wear a false face and do not pretend to be anything but who they are.”
“There is a deep and undeniable sadness in all this: whenever we see the dawn of an eternal good that will never be overcome by evil – an evil that is itself eternal but will never succeed in overcoming good – whenever we see this dawn, the blood of old people and children is always shed.”
“In the end we shall have had enough of cynicism, skepticism and humbug, and we shall want to live more musically.”
“We live in a world full of people who are satisfied with pretending to be someone they are not.”
