ch.11 on faith pt1

“now faith, in the sense in which I am here using the word, is the art of holding on to things your reason has once accepted, in spite of your changing moods. for moods will change, whatever view your reason takes. i know that by experience.” (140)

“no man knows how bad he is till he has tried very hard to be good… only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is” (142)

this book is really special to me. though i’ve never actually read the whole book before, a lot of its quotes have helped me through tough times in my life. alsoo i’m reading a copy that my mom annotated years back so that’s super cool :))
