Everything contains its opposite
"I owe you the story of Zita, writes Rachel Charlus some and I'll do it, with greater pleasure, that this is the moment where I will be really interesting. I have to tell her much more beautiful things she could not tell you of me and I hope you kiss my hand as, at least if you believe that feeling is worth a caress. In truth you deem evil that is the one who inspires me: for he is strong enough so that my expressions do not. I have already done a foolish thing, giving the name of history, the details of what should be, what, and what seems Zita. This name does not suit him: there is point in his life, these striking events that make public efforts, and consequently less difficult. Hundred times more rare and more estimable than mine, its merit consists in the constant practice of many virtues, as horrible circumstances make obscure, and there can be no question, even if it is at, or glory that is the price, it is so violently attached ... How can I repay you the perfections of his soul, the elevation of his feelings, the rectitude of its intentions, the regularity of his manners, the extent of his knowledge that embraces all its duties? So after that see what you have to do. "
" God said Charles-Louis de Secondat, Baron de la Brede and Montesquieu in his Persian Letters, was chosen in all corners of the earth, souls purer than the others, he has separated from the ungodly world, so that their fervent prayers and mortifications suspending his anger, ready to fall on so many peoples rebels ... "but, he adds later:" In vain we looking in the desert a tranquil state, and the temptations we always follow. ". All things contain their opposites as well: you write is a challenge, you will never be fully satisfied, you want to be the singular and all: everyone thinks that I write to him especially when it's all I 'm address and, although I try, it is not totally in my abilities to write everyone a different story.
