The Abominable Effort To Take One’s Sins

Whither Should We Aim If Not Towards God?

I Find Just As Much Profit In Cultivating My Hates As My Loves.

There Is No Feeling So Simple That It Is Not Immediately Complicated And Distorted By Introspection.

Chastity More Rarely Follows Fear, Or A Resolution, Or A Vow, Than It Is The Mere Effect Of Lack Of Appetite And, Sometimes Even, Of Distaste.

I Am Lost If I Attempt To Take Count Of Chronology. When I Think Over The Past, I Am Like A Person Whose Eyes Cannot Properly Measure Distances And Is Liable To Think Things Extremely Remote Which On Examination Prove To Be Quite Near.
