Quote by J.-K. Huysmans

“...looking to the future, see nothing ahead but fresh reasons for anxiety and causes of annoyance...and he was obliged to admit that only religion still had the power of healing...but religion demanded in return such a desertion of common sense...that he kept his distance, while still observing it out the corner of his eye.”
