Latin: "Eosturmonath, qui nunc paschalis mensis interpretatur, quondam a dea illorum quae Eostre vocabatur et cui in illo festa celebrabant nomen habuit, a cuius nomine nunc paschale tempus cognominant; consueto antiquae observationis vocabulo, quondam calendis Aprilis festum illud celebrabant."
Translation: "Eosturmonath, which is now interpreted as the paschal month, was formerly named after the goddess Eostre, and has given its name to the festival of Pasch [Easter] celebrated in that month. The ancients also observed this festival in her honour on the first day of April, and called it 'Eostre's feast'."〜

"If I were a physician, and if I were allowed to prescribe just one remedy for all the ills of the modern world, I would prescribe silence. For even if the Word of God were proclaimed in the modern world, how could one hear it with so much noise? Therefore, create silence."
