Hate Quote by S.J. Parris
““The Catholic chruch as threatened your life - do you not want revenge? Have you not sold your hatred to the Pretestant cause to work against the church that has hunted you?" "No," I said simply. "I hate no one. I want only to be left in peace to understand the mysteries of the universe in my own way." "God has already laid out for us the mysteries of the universe, or as much as He permits us to understand. You think your way is better?" "Better than these wars of dogma that have led men to burn and fillet one another across Europe for fifty years? Yes, I do." "Then what is it you believe?" I looked at him. "I believe that, in the end, even the devils will be pardoned.””
