Quote by Jean Jacques Rousseau
English (Source)
I gladly confess to you that the majesty of the holy scriptures amazes me and the holiness of the Gospel speaks to my heart. Just look at how eloquent the books of the philosophers are, how insignificant they seem besides. Is it possible that a book so noble and at the same time so simple could be a human creation? Is it possible that the person to whom he tells his story is himself just a person? Just a voice promoted by a fan or an ambitious sectarian? What gentleness! What moral purity. What a touching charm in his teachings! What loftiness in his principles! What profound wisdom in his discourses! What audacity! What subtlety, and at the same time, what impact there is in your answers! What power over his passions. Where is that man, that sage, who can act, suffer and die in this way without weakness or ostentation?
