Accomplices Quotes - Page 2

• La injusticia de la derrota consiste en hacer pasar a sus víctimas más inocentes por cómplices desalmados. Es imposible ver detrás de la derrota los sacrificios, el austero cumplimiento del deber, la autodisciplina y la vigilancia que hay, esas cosas que el dios de la batalla no tiene en cuenta.

  Antoine de Saint-Exupery

• Un Dios que castiga nuestra falta de fe, nuestros vicios, la poca estima que tenemos por la dignidad y las virtudes cívicas. Toleramos el vicio, nos hacemos sus cómplices, a veces lo aplaudimos, y es justo, muy justo que suframos las consecuencias, que las sufran nuestros hijos. Es el Dios de la libertad... quien nos obliga a amarla, haciéndonos pesado el yugo - un Dios de misericordia, de equidad, que mientras nos castiga nos mejora y sólo concede prosperidad a quien la ha merecido con su esfuerzo. La escuela del sufrimiento templa, la arena del combate fortalece el alma.

• La exportación de empleados de la Iglesia a América Latina enmascara un miedo universal e inconsciente a una nueva Iglesia. Las autoridades norteamericanas y sudamericanas, con motivaciones diferentes pero igualmente temerosas, se convierten en cómplices del mantenimiento de una Iglesia clerical e irrelevante. Sacralizando empleados y propiedades, esta Iglesia se vuelve progresivamente más ciega a las posibilidades de Sacralizar persona y comunidad.

• Love enters the heart unawares: takes precedence of all the emotions--or, at least, will be second to none--and even reflection becomes its accomplice. While it lives, it renders blind; and when it has struck its roots deep only itself can shake them. It reminds one of hospitality as practiced among the ancients. The stranger was received upon the threshold of the half-open door, and introduced into the sanctuary reserved for the Penates. Not until every attention had been lavished upon him did the host ask his name; and the question was sometimes deferred till the very moment of departure.

  Sophie Swetchine
