Speaker:

>> Brie Carlisle: Values today well be

Speaker:

continuing Les miserable by Victor

Speaker:

Hugo chapter

Speaker:

seven precautions to be observed in

Speaker:

blame history and

Speaker:

philosophy have eternal duties, which are at the

Speaker:

same time simple duties to combat

Speaker:

Caiphas the high priest, Draco the

Speaker:

Lawgiver, Trimalcion, the legislator,

Speaker:

Tiberius the Emperor. This is

Speaker:

clear, direct, and limpid, and offers

Speaker:

no obscurity. But the right to live

Speaker:

apart, even with its

Speaker:

inconveniences and its abuses, insists on

Speaker:

being stated and taken into account.

Speaker:

Sinibatism is a human problem. When one

Speaker:

speaks of convents, those abodes of error, but of

Speaker:

innocence, of aberration, but of goodwill, of

Speaker:

ignorance, but of devotion, of torture, but of

Speaker:

martyrdom, it always becomes

Speaker:

necessary to say either yes or no.

Speaker:

A convent is a contradiction. Its

Speaker:

object salvation, its means

Speaker:

thereto sacrifice. The convent

Speaker:

is supreme egoism, having for its results

Speaker:

supreme abnegation. To abdicate with the object

Speaker:

of reigning seems to be the device of monasticism.

Speaker:

In the cloister. One suffers in order to

Speaker:

enjoy. One draws a bill of exchange on

Speaker:

death one discounts and terrestrial

Speaker:

gloom. Celestial light in the

Speaker:

cloister hell is accepted in advance as a post

Speaker:

obit on paradise. The taking of the

Speaker:

veil or the frock is a suicide paid for with

Speaker:

eternity. It does not seem to us

Speaker:

that on such a subject mockery is permissible.

Speaker:

All about it is serious, the good as well

Speaker:

as the bad. The just man frowns but never

Speaker:

smiles with a malicious sneer. We understand

Speaker:

wrath, but not malice.

Speaker:

Thank you for joining bite at a time books today. while we read a

Speaker:

bite of one of your favorite classics.

Speaker:

Speaker:

Speaker:
