Sinfulness Quotes (page 33)

I experienced by observing my own body and my own soul that I sorely needed sin, sorely needed concupiscence, needed greed, vanity, and the most shameful despair to learn to stop resisting, to learn to love the world and stop comparing it to some world I only wished for and imagined, some sort of perfection I myself had dreamed up, but instead to let it be as it was and to love it and be happy to belong to it. Herman Hesse
Neil Gaiman quote: "They all do the same things. They may think their sins are..."
They all do the same things. They may think their sins are original, but for the most part they are petty and repetitive. Neil Gaiman
How often have you and I helped to keep sinners easy in their sin, by our inconsistency! Had we been true Christians, the wicked man would often have been pricked to the heart, and his conscience would have convicted him. Charles Spurgeon
TEIRESIAS: You have your eyes but see not where you arein sin, nor where you live, nor whom you live with. Do you know who your parents are? Unknowingyou are enemy to kith and kinin death, beneath the earth, and in this life. Sophocles

He was all sin and mystery, and Miranda feared the pleasures he offered as she feared the fires of hell. Yet when she succumbed at last, it was not because her body was weak but because her mind was curious. Anya Seton
There he was. The infant Titus. His eyes were open but he was quite still. The puckered-up face of the newly-born child, old as the world, wise as the roots of trees. Sin was there and goodness, love, pity and horror, and even beauty for his eyes were pure violet. Earth's passions, earth's griefs, earth's incongruous, ridiculous humours - dormant, yet visible in the wry pippin of a face. Mervyn Peake
PAIN was no longer a cause of suffering, but a source of pleasure, Because they were redeeming humanity from its sins. Pain becomes joy, the meaning of life, pleasure.. Paulo Coelho
Arthur Miller quote: "I speak my own sins; I cannot judge another. I have no tongue..."
I speak my own sins; I cannot judge another. I have no tongue for it. Arthur Miller

I like smooth shiny girls, hardboiled and loaded with sin. Raymond Chandler
Love is such a priceless treasure that you can buy the whole world with it, and redeem not only your own but other people's sins. Go, and do not be afraid. Fyodor Dostoevsky
When the sins of our fathers visit us. We do not have to play host. We can banish them with forgiveness. As God, in his His Largeness and Laws. August Wilson
Empathy lies at the heart of Gatsby, like so many other great novels--the biggest sin is to be blind to others' problems and pains. Not seeing them means denying their existence. Azar Nafisi
The dove descending breaks the air. With flame of incandescent terror. Of which the tongues declare. The one discharge from sin and error. The only hope, or else despair. Lies in the choice of pyre or pyre-To be redeemed from fire by fire. Who then devised the torment? Love. Love is the unfamiliar Name. Behind the hands that wove. The intolerable shirt of flame. Which human power cannot remove. We only live, only suspire. Consumed by either fire or fire. T. S. Eliot
When the subject is sacred, proud and clever men may come to think that the outsiders who don't know it are not merely inferior to them in skill but lower in God's eyes; as the priests said, 'All that rabble who are not experts in the Torah are accursed.' and as this pride increases, the 'subject' or study which confers such privilege will grow more and more complicated, the list of things forbidden will increase, till to get through a single day without supposed sin becomes like an elaborate... C. S. Lewis
