• Yo era un bebé cuando mi madre fue a ver a un ateo quemado. Me llevó allí. Los sacerdotes vestidos de oscuro se reunieron alrededor de la pila; La multitud estaba mirando en silencio; Y cuando el culpable pasó con rostro impávido, El desdén templado en su ojo inalterable, Mezclado con una sonrisa tranquila, brilló con calma; El fuego sediento se arrastró alrededor de sus miembros viriles; Sus ojos decididos se quemaron a la ceguera pronto; ¡Su punzada de muerte rasgó mi corazón! la turba insensata Lanzó un grito de triunfo, y lloré. No llores, hija, gritó mi madre, pues ese hombre ha dicho: "Dios no existe".

• Sometimes we esteem others more important than ourselves. We always become the martyr. It is wonderful to be self-sacrificing, but watch out for self-disdain! If we don’t apply some of the
  medicine that we use on others to strengthen ourselves, our patients will be healed and we will be dying.

I find this more and more every day: an infinitude of tenderness is the chief gift and inheritance of all the truly great men. It is sure to involve a relative intensity of disdain towards base things, and an appearance of sternness and arrogance in the eyes of all hard, stupid, and vulgar people
