“Приехала полиция, стали снимать меня со стойки Эр Франса, я что-то вопил на угро-финском, вмешался Тонтон-Макут, вызвали сантранспорт… Признаюсь, что, потеряв надежду остаться непонятым и выразить таким образом мои братские чувства к близким по духу, к братьям, я впал в ярость и немного помахал кулаками. Потому что больше всего на свете я ненавижу насилие, а когда я увидел санитаров, то сразу понял, что будут усмирять. В таком случае единственный способ доказать свою нормальность — это двинуть кому-то по морде.”

“For a Catholic understanding of the faith there is no reason why the basic concern of Evangelical Christianity as it comes to expression in the three “only's” should have no place in the Catholic Church. Accepted as basic and ultimate formulas of Christianity, they do not have to lead a person out of the Catholic Church. . . . They can call the attention of the Catholic church again and again to the fact that grace alone and faith alone really are what saves, and that with all our maneuvering through the history of dogma and the teaching office, we Catholic Christians must find our way back to the sources again and again, back to the primary origins of Holy Scripture and all the more so of the Holy Spirit.”

“It is a childish cavil wherewith in the matter of justification our adversaries do so greatly please themselves, exclaiming that we tread all Christian virtues under our feet and require nothing in Christians but faith, because we teach that faith alone justifieth; whereas by this speech we never meant to exclude either hope and charity from being always joined as inseparable mates with faith in the man that is justified, or works from being added as necessary duties, required at the hands of every justified man, but to show that faith is the only hand which putteth on Christ unto justification, and Christ the only garment which, being so put on, covereth the shame of our defiled natures, hideth the imperfections of our works, preserveth us blameless in the sight of God, before whom otherwise the very weakness of our faith were cause sufficient to make us culpable, yea, to shut us out from the kingdom of heaven, where nothing that is not absolute can enter.”
