Purity prepares the soul for love, and love confirms the soul in purity.

John Henry Newman

It is almost a definition of a gentleman to say that he is one who never inflicts pain.

From the age of fifteen, dogma has been the fundamental principle of my religion: I know no other religion; I cannot enter into the idea of any other sort of religion; religion, as a mere sentiment, is to me a dream and a mockery.
