BERNADIN DE ST. PIERRE
French novelist and man of letters
(1737 - 1814)

A tomb is a monument placed on the limits of two worlds.
      - [Tombs]

An effort made with ourselves for the good of others, with the intention of pleasing God alone.
      - [Virtue]

Every trait of beauty may be traced to some virtue, as to innocence, candor, generosity, modesty, and heroism.
      - [Beauty]

Literature is the daughter of heaven, who has descended upon earth to soften and charm all human ills.
      - [Literature]

Our ancestors have travelled the iron age; the golden is before us.
      - [Experience]

Party standards are shadows in which patriotism is buried.
      - [Party]

The Christian religion alone contemplates the conjugal union in the order of nature; it is the only religion which presents woman to man as a companion; every other abandons her to him as a slave. To religion alone do European women owe their liberty.
      - [Women]
