When we speak of convents, those seats of error but innocence, of mistaken views but good intentions, of ignorance but devotion, of torment but martyrdom, we must nearly always say yes or no...The monastery is a renunciation.

Greer Garson

Well, I was living it, but a shared dream half-lived is a hollow thing
