It's George Bernanos' birthday today. Here are a few links to the excellent fiction writer. [General Bio Link](http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/bernanos.htm?ref=thedailyeudemon.com).

A few Bernanos quotes:

> “The Church is on the march through time as a regiment marches through strange country, cut off from all its ordinary supplies.”

> “Christians should be the salt, not the syrup, of the earth.”

> "Faith is not a thing that one 'loses,' we merely cease to shape our lives by it."

> "The sin against hope--the deadlist sin and perhaps also the most cherished, the most indulged. It takes a long to become aware of it, and the sadness that precedes it and heralds its advent is so delicious! The richest of all the devil's elixirs, his ambrosia."

> "\[I\]f the deal had come off, Judas would probably have endowed sanatoriums, hospitals, public libraries or laboratories."
