| Quotation | "Entre l'homme, revêtu involontairement de sa liberte, et Dieu depouille volon-tairement de sa puissance, l'antagonisme est normal, l'attaque et la reistance s'equilibrent raisonnablement et ce perpetuel combat de la nature humaine contre Dieu est la fontaine jaillissante de l'inepuisable Douleur." L. Bloy. Dans les Tenèbres. 104. ["Between man, taking on his freedom against his will, and God, freely doffing his own power, the conflict is expected, the attack and the resistance are a match for each other, and this continual conflict of human nature against God is the abundant source of inexhaustible sorrow."] |
