“One reason sin flourishes is that it is treated like a cream puff instead of a rattlesnake.”
“I can't be a cream puff.”
“Oh, impossible. Fancy cream puffs so soon after breakfast. The very idea made one shudder. All the same, two minutes later Jose and Laura were licking their fingers with that absorbed inward look that only comes from whipped cream.”
“And sin, young man, is when you treat people like things.”
“Instead of treating your child like how you were treated. Treat them with the same love and attention you wanted from your parents while growing up.”
“I loved her like a rabbit loves a rattlesnake”
