The Convent, Which Belongs To The West

The Learned Man Knows That He Is Ignorant.

Prayer Is An August Avowal Of Ignorance.

To Crush Out Fanaticism And Revere The Infinite, Such Is The Law. Let Us Not Confine Ourselves To Falling Prostrate Beneath The Tree Of Creation And Contemplating Its Vast Ramifications Full Of Stars. We Have A Duty To Perform, To Cultivate The Human Soul, To Defend Mystery Against Miracle, To Adore The Incomprehensible And To Reject The Absurd; To Admit Nothing That Is Inexplicable Excepting What Is Necessary, To Purify Faith And Obliterate Superstition From The Face Of Religion, To Remove The Vermin From The Garden Of God.

The Man Is Placed Where The Earth Ends, The Woman, Where The Heaven Starts.

If People Did Not Love One Another, I Really Don't See What Use There Would Be In Having Any Spring.
