 from 'they speak in silences' (by a carthusian)

The rebellion of our nature, and the struggles of our self love, often make us advance, provided we have the good will, far more than our too rapid or too complete victories. These can easily arouse spiritual pride or a false virtue which is only on the surface. The long and bitter conflict keeps us in our true place which is in impotence and nothingness, and builds our soul upon foundations that will never fail.
