“Sin is a gravitation.”

“To commit the least possible sin is the law for man. To live without sin is the dream of an angel. Everything terrestrial is subject to sin. Sin is a gravitation.”

“If the soul is left in darkness, sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but the one who causes the darkness. (Monseigneur Bienvenu in _Les Miserables_)”

“The soul in the darkness sins, but the real sinner is he who caused the darkness.”

“To be a saint is the exception; to be an upright man is the rule. Err, fall, sin if you will, but be upright.”

“The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness.”

“Teach the ignorant as much as you can; society is culpable in not providing a free education for all and it must answer for the night which it produces. If the soul is left in darkness sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness.”
