“Let us offer our hearts, wretched and empty as they
are, to God, that He may be pleased to fill them with that charity which amends
the past, which ensures the future, which fears and trusts, weeps and rejoices
in its knowledge; which becomes in every instance the virtue of which we stand
in need.” Italian novelist Alessandro Manzoni (1785-1873), I Promessi Sposi (The Bethrothed) (1840)
