“These will be my last moments of peace. . . . From now on, my love. . . will bring nothing but chaos.”
“Love me, then, or hate me, as you will," I said at last, "you have my full and free forgiveness: ask now for God's, and be at peace.”
“The love of glory is like the bridge that Satan built across Chaos to pass from Hell to Paradise: glory links the past with the future across a bottomless abyss. Nothing to my son, except my name!”
“Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles.”
“This was my moment to look for the kind of healing and peace that can only come from solitude.”
“This was not my moment to be seeking romance and (as day follows night) to further complicate my already knotty life. This was my moment to look for the kind of healing and peace that can only come from solitude.”
