“I know as well as any one, [the devil] is an adversary, whom if we resist, he will fly from usbut I seldom resist him at all; from a terror, that though I may conquer, I may still get a hurt in the combatso ... instead of thinking to make him fly, I generally fly myself.”

“We were as twinned lambs that did frisk i the sun
And bleat the one at th other. What we changed
Was innocence for innocence; we knew not
The doctrine of ill-doing, nor dreamed
That any did. Had we pursued that life,
And our weak spirits neer been higher reared
With stronger blood, we should have answered heaven
Boldly Not guilty, the imposition cleared
Hereditary ours.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
