Julia Gfrörer
“Agnes! Do you hear me? I was wrong. The world isn't ending. There are things that matter. We matter.”
Julia Gfrörer, Laid Waste

Jules Michelet
“El domingo, después del oficio, había bastantes enfermos; pedían socorros y se les daba sólo palabras: -Has pecado y Dios te aflige. Da gracias, menos tendrás que sufrir en la otra vida. Resígnate, sufre, muere. La Iglesia tiene plegarias para sus difuntos.- Débiles, desmadejados, sin esperanza, ni ganas de vivir, seguían bien este consejo y dejaban escapar la vida.”
Jules Michelet, Satanism and Witchcraft: The Classic Study of Medieval Superstition
