Elizabeth Gilbert Quotes About Saints

• [Saint Anthony] said, in his solitude, he sometimes encountered devils who looked like angels, and other times he found angels who looked like devils. When asked how he could tell the difference, the saint said that you can only tell which is which by the way you feel after the creature has left your company.

"Pero si no pueden contenerse" Pablo finalmente concedió entonces "que se casen porque es mejor casarse que arder". Tal vez sea la aprobación más a regañadientes del matrimonio en la historia de la humanidad.
