Philosophy as soon as it falls into a good heart, well cultivated by Grace, then it is called consolation. He comes to smell compassion and doesn't even have the courage to say what it smells like, because it smells… so as not to offend. And this is religious life.

La filosofia appena cade in un cuore buono, ben coltivato dalla Grazia, allora si chiama consolazione. Arriva a sentire l'odore della compassione e non ha neanche il coraggio di dire che odore, perché ha un profumo… per non offendere. E questa è la vita religiosa.
