Glen Duncan Quotes
Catholicism Fascinated Him, The Contortions It Put Itself Through To Make Ends Meet. Father Murray Had Kept Returning To The Word 'despair.' There'd Been A Little (bizarre, Luke Thought) Linguistic Diversion Into Latin. Desperare, Formed By The 'de' Prefex, Signifying The Removal Of Or From, And 'sperare,' Meaning To Hope. The Removal Of Hope. That Was Despair. The Reasoning Being That You Couldn't Live Without Hope. What Murray Hadn't Said (but What, Along With The Story Of The Suicide Ghost, Luke Remembered From Childhood) Was That Despair Was Classified As A Sin Against The Holy Spirit. That Was The Perverse Beauty Of The Religion: That Your Daughter Could Be Raped And Murdered And Yourself Still Condemned For Giving Up Hope.
