Examinez cette balance : toutes les jouissances dans le plateau du riche, toutes les misères dans le plateau du pauvre. Les deux parts ne sont-elles pas inégales ? La balance ne doit-elle pas nécessairement pencher, et l’état avec elle ? Et maintenant dans le lot du pauvre, dans le plateau des misères, jetez la certitude d’un avenir céleste, jetez l’aspiration au bonheur éternel, jetez le paradis, contre-poids magnifique ! Vous rétablissez l’équilibre. La part du pauvre est aussi riche que la part du riche. C’est ce que savait Jésus, qui en savait plus long que Voltaire.

The living perceive the infinite; the definitive permits itself to be seen only by the dead. In the meanwhile, love and suffer, hope and contemplate. Woe, alas! to him who shall have loved only bodies, forms, appearances! Death will deprive him of all. Try to love souls, you will find them again.

Good actions are the invisible hinges on the doors of heaven.

Victor Hugo

Each of our passions, even love, has a stomach that must not be overloaded. We must in all things write the word finis in time; we must restrain ourselves, when it becomes urgent, draw the bolt on the appetite, play a fantasia on the violin, then break the strings with our own hand.
