“Sin was a powerful temptation, indeed”
“That was my nature - going from temptation after temptation, not to sin, but to be redeemed.”
“Power was my weakness and my temptation.”
“I have always derived indescribable pleasure from leading a decent woman to the edge of sin and leaving her there to live between the temptation and the fear of that sin.”
“There is no arguing with the pretenders to a divine knowledge and to a divine mission. They are possessed with the sin of pride. They have yielded to the perennial temptation.”
“And when we love our sin then we are damned indeed.”
