Superstitious Quote by José Rizal

“Doray may be rather superstitious but she is a good Catholic, and I hate to destroy anyone’s faith. Pure intuitive faith differs as much from fanaticism as fire from smoke, or music from mere noise; those who confuse the two are like the deaf.” quote by José Rizal
