“I write in cafés and bars, risking being taken for a drunkard, something I would perhaps in fact be if our powerful Republics did not slap pitiless taxes on the alcohol that comforts us.” ― Bernanos: An Ecclesial Existence, by Hans Urs Von Balthasar, A Communio Book, © 1996 Ignatius Press, San Francisco, ISBN 0-89870-576-2, Page 45.
