“Jurei emocionar-vos, de amizade ou de cólera, tanto faz. Era assim que eu falava outrora no tempo da Grand Peur. Presentemente já me preocupa pouco emocionar, pelo menos de cólera. A cólera dos imbecis sempre me encheu de tristeza, hoje causar-me-ia pavor. O mundo inteiro ressoa com essa cólera. Que quereis? Eles não pediam mais do que não compreender nada e mesmo para

Why the light to the nations is so dim? Unfortunately for you, beyond a certain degree of deception, the most insolent phraseologies cannot mask the void of systems: the agnostic warns you about the conditions in the world for the hour shall strike when questions hurled at you from all points on earth shall be so urgent and so direct that you will not be able to answer except yes or no.”
