Let us become thoroughly sensible of the weakness, blindness, and narrow limits of human reason: Let us duly consider its uncertainty and endless contrarieties, even in subjects of common life and practice ... When these topics are displayed in their full light, as they are by some philosophers and almost all divines; who can retain such confidence in this frail faculty of reason as to pay any regard to its determinations in points so sublime, so abstruse, so remote from common life and experience? — David Hume

The events of the late spring and early summer of 1929 engendered a new collective spirit among the French. — Donald Spoto

The real love is to love them that hate you, to love your neighbor even though you distrust him. — Mahatma Gandhi
