“It is purity of spirit that will keep corruption from the flesh”
“Monk: Forgive our rudenessHakkai: Please, don't worry about it. A little purity is good for them.Sanzo: You saying I'm corrupt?”
“I hate purity, I hate goodness! I don't want virtue to exist anywhere. I want everyone to be corrupt to the bones.”
“Purity does not mean crushing the instincts but having the instincts as servants and not the master of the spirit.”
“the material world and the flesh are only temporary - there are no sins of the flesh, spirit is everything!”
“And it is you, spirit--with will and energy, and virtue and purity--that I want, not alone with your brittle frame.”
