Henryk Sienkiewicz Quotes
And All At Once He Saw Before Him A Precipice, As It Were Without Bottom. He Was A Patrician, A Military Tribune, A Powerful Man; But Above Every Power Of That World To Which He Belonged Was A Madman Whose Will And Malignity It Was Impossible To Foresee. Only Such People As The Christians Might Cease To Reckon With Nero Or Fear Him, People For Whom This Whole World, With Its Separations And Sufferings, Was As Nothing; People For Whom Death Itself Was As Nothing. All Others Had To Tremble Before Him. The Terrors Of The Time In Which They Lived Showed Themselves To Vinicius In All Their Monstrous Extent ... Vinicius Felt, For The First Time In Life, That Either The World Must Change And Be Transformed, Or Life Would Become Impossible Altogether. He Understood Also This, Which A Moment Before Had Been Dark To Him, That In Such Times Only Christians Could Be Happy.
