More quotes by Léon Bloy
There is only one tragedy in the end, not to have been a saint.
One sees the world's evil accurately only by exaggerating it.
You are always on the right side when you are with those who suffer persecution and injustice.
The exercise of freedom consists in stripping oneself of one's own will.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
