Christianity has altered the pagan soul. When the dream of a world without pain appeared, we could no longer adapt to this pain, even though we believe that a world without pain will never exist. Consciousness has been visited by a dream that can no longer be erased, and even if we believe it to be unlikely, we still want it to exist.

More quotes by Salvatore Natoli

Francis de Sales concedes nothing to the pagan style, which, moreover, has long since abandoned its tragic guise in ancient schools.

The magnanimous person does not look at others, not because he underestimates them, but because he finds his own measure in the task he has set himself. (p. 133).

But good can never be imposed: it must be continually sought and chosen each time. (p. 43)

“'Vitaque mancipio nulli datur, omnibus usus”': life is not given as property to anyone, but “'for use”' to everyone. (p. 3)

The first rule of any discourse is, in fact, to “tell the truth”. (p. 55)
