“most suicidal teens are different; they’re tempted to kill themselves. with me, i know i need to die; i should be killed for the things i’ve done. but i keep feeling this nudge, this TEMPTATION TO LIVE. and everyday i pray to god that i never lose that temptation.”
“I have found that people who can successfully resist temptation invariably lead depressingly stunted lives.”
“The only thing I cannot resist is temptation.”
“It is no credit to me to do right. I am never under any temptation to do wrong!”
“I'm not tempted by things I've decided are off-limits, but once I've started something, I have trouble stopping. If I never do something, it requires no self-control for me; if I do something sometimes, it requires enormous self-control.”
