“Monsieur, sit down; listen to me. I am not a heathen, I am not hard-hearted, I am not unchristian, I am not dangerous, as they tell you; I would not trouble your faith; you believe in God and Christ and the Bible, and so do I.”

“(…) Bóg nie stoi po stronie Rzymu, a gdyby Syn Boży miał w dalszym ciągu cierpieć za wszystkie bóle i smutki ludzkie, czy nie bolałby nad okrucieństwem i nad ambitnymi dążeniami Rzymu, jak niegdyś bolał nad zbrodniami i klęskami skazanej na zagładę Jerozolimy?”

“Lubię kwiaty, kiedy rosną, zwłaszcza na łące i w lesie; zerwane przestają być dla mnie ponętne. Widzę w nich martwe, skazane na rychły uwiąd stwory; zasmuca mnie ich podobieństwo do życia ludzkiego. Nie ofiarowuję nigdy kwiatów tym, których kocham; nie chciałabym nigdy otrzymywać ich od osób mi drogich.”
