“I am walking up and down the line of sentries, under the dark boughs of the poplars. In the flooded ditch outside the rats are paddling about, making as much noise as otters. As the yellow dawn comes up behind us, the Andalusian sentry, muffed in his cloak, begins singing. Across no man's land, a hundred or two hundred yards away, you can hear the Fascist sentry also singing.”

"In fact, I am so content with what God might do to me, give me or withhold from me that I would not pay a penny for the best possible life which I could conceive for myself."

"Do you want to know what a truly poor person is? They are truly poor in spirit who can easily do without everything which is not strictly necessary. That is why the man who sat naked in his tub said to Alexander the Great, who ruled the whole world: ‘I am a greater lord than you are, for I have spurned more than you have seized. What you think it is a great thing to possess, is too trivial for me to scorn.’ 23 They who can go without all things, not needing them, are far more blessed than they who possess them in their need. That person is the best who can do without what they do not need. Therefore, whoever can do without and spurn the most, has given up the most. It seems a major event if someone gives away a thousand gold crowns for God, building many convents and monasteries with their money and feeding all the poor; and this is indeed a great thing. But whoever can spurn just as much for God’s sake is even more blessed. Someone would possess heaven itself if they could renounce all the things for God’s sake which God gives or does not give."

"As far as you are in God, thus far you are in peace, and as far as you are outside God, thus far you are outside peace. If only something is in God, then it has peace. It is in peace in so far as it is in God. And you can tell how far you are in God, or not, by the extent to which you have peace or not. For where you lack peace, you must necessarily lack peace, since lack of peace comes from the creature and not from God. Nor is there anything to fear in God, for all that is in him can only be loved. Similarly there is nothing in him to cause us sadness."

“Alexander Hamilton, an aide of George Washington and an up-and-coming member of the new elite, wrote from his headquarters: “. . . our countrymen have all the folly of the ass and all the passiveness of the sheep. . . . They are determined not to be free. . . . If we are saved, France and Spain must save us.”

"We should earn this possession of God by not being in possession of ourselves here on earth or of all those things that are not him. The more perfect and naked this poverty, the greater this possession. We should not intend this reward or have it in mind, nor should we direct our gaze at a possible gain or gift, but we should be motivated solely by love of virtue. For the more detached we are in the possession of something, the more truly it is ours, as St Paul says: ‘We should have as if we had nothing, and yet possess all things’ (2 Cor. 6:10). They do not possess self who neither desire nor wish to have anything, either of themselves or of anything which is outside them, even of God or of anything at all."

"So do not complain but complain rather that you do still complain and find no peace. Complain only of an excess of this. For whoever has the right attitude will receive as much in loss as they do in gain."

"In return for stripping myself of myself for his sake, God will be wholly my own possession with all that he is and can do, as much mine as his, no more and no less. He will belong to me a thousand times more than anything ever belonged to anyone which they keep in their chest, or than he was ever his own possession. Nothing was ever my own as much as God will be mine, together with all that he is and all that he can do."

"As long as necessity is socially dreamed, dreaming will remain a social necessity. The spectacle is the bad dream of a modern society in chains and ultimately expresses nothing more than its wish for sleep. The spectacle is the guardian of that sleep."
