Quotes 

• Bishop Fliesser : We must be strong. Stand firm. Learn the lesson of the blacksmith. No matter how hard a hammer strikes the anvil cannot, need not, strike back. The anvil outlives the hammer. That which is hammered on the anvil, takes his form, not only from the hammer, but the anvil too.

• Bishop Fliesser : You have a duty to the Fatherland. The Church tells you so. Do you know the words of the Apostle? That every man be subject to the power that's placed over him.
