Extract

“For there shall be days when you will say: Blessed is the womb which has not conceived, and those breasts which have not given suck.”

The Apocryphal Gospel of Thomas (1)

“ Oh man! why is the world becoming so narrow for you? You want to possess it alone; but if you had possessed it, it would not have been spacious enough for you:

Ah! this is the pride of the devil who has fallen from heaven into hell.”
