Aimee Dostoyevsky Quotes
In All Poor Countries, Where General Culture Is Not Very Advanced, Monasteries Give To The Masses The Silence, Poetry And Music, For Which Their Souls Unconsciously Yearn. As Soon, However, As A People Grows Prosperous, Educates Itself And Finds Its Own Distractions, The Need For Convents Or Monasteries Disappears. Simple-minded Folk Imagine That The Suppression Of The Religious Orders Means The Decay Of Christianity - But They Forget That Monasteries Existed In India And In China, Long Before The Birth Of Christ. Christianity Did Not Invent Them, But The Monasteries Of The Time Gradually Adopted The New Faith. Actually, All Such Institutions Are Quite Contrary To Christian Ideals, For Christ's Teaching, Above All Else, Enjoins Activity.
