"Thou mayest'! Why, that makes a man great, that gives him stature with the gods, for in his weakness and his filth and his murder of his brother he has still the great choice…It is easy out of laziness, out of weakness, to
throw oneself into the lap of deity, saying, I couldn’t help it the way was set.’ But think of the godliness of choice!”
If only Steinbeck knew Timshel didn’t mean that…still fire tho
