unbelief, n.All

Unbelief (n.) and ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠how much freedom of the spirit one permits oneself is the measure of an increase in power.

Unbelief (n.) of ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠ours is upright in the way our Christian ancestors' faith was: they sacrificed possessions, blood and fatherland for faith, and we do the same, compelled by a hidden Yes stronger than all Nos.

Unbelief (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠a matter of taste, not virtue: like a philologist repelled by a forged reading, one is offended by the counterfeit of reading every experience as God's schooling.

Unbelief (n.) in ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the eternal has a price: one wants to pluck the fruit of every tree one plants, and so plants none that shade the centuries.

Unbelief (n.) means ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠rebellion against the spirit of the race among Catholics; among northerners it is rather a return to it.
