I shall play no such tricks with you … Let love be truly love—that is, let it be peace—or let it not exist at all. - Quote by Henry de Montherlant

Great ideas are not charitable.
Henry de Montherlant
I remind you that I have no faith. If I sought God, I find myself.
Henry de Montherlant
Anyone I love takes away part of my freedom, but in that case it is I who wished it; and there is so much pleasure in loving that one gladly sacrifices something for its sake. Any one who loves me takes away all my freedom. Anyone who admires me (as a writer) threatens to take it away from me. I even fear those who understand me, which is why I spend so much time covering my tracks - both in my private life and in the persona I express through my books. What would have delighted me, had I loved god, is the thought that god gives nothing in return.
