“Eve falls first. She falls as the weaker one, as the one partly taken from the man. But there is no excuse for her fall, she is completely herself. Yet the culmination of the story is the fall of Adam. Eve only falls totally when Adam falls, for the two are one. Adam falls because of Eve, Eve falls because of Adam, the two are one. In their guilt too they are two and yet one. They fall together as one and each one carries all the guilt alone. Male and female he created them—and man fell away from him— male and female.”
― Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Creation and Fall/Temptation

“There is no resistance to Satan other than flight. Every struggle against lust in one’s own strength is doomed to failure. Flee—that can indeed only mean, Flee to that place where you find protection and help flee to the Crucified.”
― Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Creation and Fall/Temptation

“I believe compulsory labor is less opposed to liberty than taxes.”
― Jean Jacques Rousseau, The Social Contract

“I rather wish you foes than hollow friends”
