The horrors that we have seen, the still greater horrors we shall presently see, are not signs that rebels, insubordinate, untamable men are increasing in number throughout the world, but rather that there is a constant increase in the number of obedient, docile men. – Georges Bernanos
Winner of the Grand Prix du roman de l'Académie française for The Diary of a Country Priest (Journal d'un curé de campagne), which was published in 1936, Bernanos (1888-1948), author and soldier, esteemed monarchy, criticized elitism, and opposed defeatism. His comment applies to the West today. Diary was made into a film, deemed one of the best ever made, and is in my film category, ready to view. This entry is a tribute to my good friend Jacob in Ohio.
