Jackson Fay

“There are moments, psychologists tell us, when the passion for sin, or for what the world calls sin, so dominates a nature that every fiber of the body, as every cell of the brain, seems to be instinct with fearful impulses. Men and women at such moments lose the freedom of their will...Choice is taken from them, and conscience is either killed, or, if it lives, at all, lives but to give rebellion its fascination and disobedience its charm. For all sins, as theologians weary not of reminding us, are sins of disobedience.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
