“You think I should be as forgiving as you are? We can’t all be saints and martyrs.”
“You don’t have to be brave or a saint, a martyr, or even very smart to be an atheist. All you have to be able to say is “I don’t know”.”
“Why be a saint unless you could also be a martyr?”
“Well...you're a martyr and I'm a patron saint-I can't think of anyone better!”
“A friend asks if I know the difference between a saint and a martyr: A saint is someone who radiates goodness and bears no faults. A martyr is someone who lives with a saint. ”
“All of us have a secret desire to be seen as saints, heroes, martyrs. We are afraid to be children, to be ourselves.”
