“There must be that little spark of fire in the secret part of beings: there must be the soul to animate everything; there must be souls to arouse souls.”, Le chemin des chèvres [The Goats’ Path], p. 159

“Struggle. Combat. Cry out. Fight. Struggle knowing that we are struggling not only against the world and the flesh, but also against the kingdom of darkness. It is our duty to cry from the rooftops that, if Christianity is diluted, if the Church makes even less visible the gold of its holy visibility, if her condition is tarnished by the stupidity and perversity of clerics, it is the world itself which for a thousand years will become horribly, incredibly and unimaginably stupid and cruel for all humanity.”
“Let us beg God, with all our strength; let us let tears spring from our prayer and let us cry out that entreaty which is eating up our hearts: ‘Send us, Lord God, before the end of the century, a reinforcement of great saints, great soldiers who are willing to offer their lives, in the blood or the mortification of each day, for the honor and the glory of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Have pity, Lord, on our extreme wretchedness, and awaken men so that they may again know who the Lord is and that He will not be mocked.”
We must struggle, and above all we must not lose courage, when we are told that the enemy surrounds the City of God with their riders and their chariots of war. Let us listen to Eliseus in the Book of Kings: ‘Fear not: for there are more with us than with them.’ And Eliseus prayed and said: ‘Lord, open his eyes that he may see.’ And the Lord opened the eyes of the servant; and behold the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Eliseus’ (2 Kings 6:16,17).”, in Le siècle de l’enfer [The Century of Hell]. p.585
