"Through all these things, a bond is formed with them among the people, and they come to be of one mind, so that, in a short time, even if we were granted some measure of freedom, there would no longer be any hope of bringing back to the knowledge of the truth those who have been encompassed by this prolonged delusion."

- St. Basil the Great, quoted in Străjerii Ortodoxiei. Luptele monahilor pentru apărarea Ortodoxiei, p. 63.
