" Of St. Benedict and his monastic rule to Sister Emmanuelle, activist generous, of St. Augustine to the fervent soul of the father of Christian and his heart Chergé fraternal Pascal and lightning intuitions of Saint Therese of the Child Jesus in his total surrender to Christ, to writers dear to my heart-Vilon, Chateaubriand, Hugo, Verlaine, Jammes, Claudel, Bobin ...., I would like to know their light, their faith, their deep human wisdom."
