Quotes by Alan Burgess  (?)

“They were simple, kindly peasants, almost as close to nature as the animals with which they journeyed... She wondered if, in the years to come, any remnant of the faith she preached would stay with them, and be of help to them in their troubles.”
Alan Burgess, The Inn of the Sixth Happiness

“The few poignant moments before the battle, before the gas chamber... these little meetings of kindred spirits, without a past to give them guidance or a future to give them hope, they would find a measure of peace and coherence to lend a reason to the farcical affairs of mankind. Man, in all his wild adventures, had not, as yet, discovered a substitute for faith.”
Alan Burgess, The Inn of the Sixth Happiness
