A strong sense of identity gives man an idea he can do no wrong; too little accomplishes the same. - Djuna Barnes

Let us put it the other way, the Lutheran or Protestant church versus the Catholic. The Catholic is the girl that you love so much that she can lie to you, and the Protestant is the girl that loves you so much that you can lie to her, and pretend a lot that you do not feel.

Ah God! she settles down we say; It means her powers slip away It means she draws back day by day From good or bad.

Das Leben ist ewig; darin liegt seine Schönheit.
