“If the error is thrust deeply enough into the soul, man cannot but succumb to it.”
“Man struggles to survive, not to succumb”
“For the error bred in the bone of each woman and each man craves what it cannot have, not universal love but to be loved alone.”
“Truth can understand error, but error cannot understand truth.”
“For the chief malady of man is restless curiosity about things which he cannot understand; and it is not so bad for him to be in error as to be curious to no purpose.”
“Even a strong man can succumb to the wiles of a pretty girl with pointy shoes.”
