== Resisting temptation quotes ==
“A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is... A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later. That is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness. They have lived a sheltered life by always giving in." - [[C.S. Lewis]], ''Mere Christianity''
“Whatever their bodies do affects their souls. It is funny how mortals always picture us as putting things into their minds: in reality our best work is done by keeping things out...”
― C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters (Book on a "senior demon" teaching a "junior demon")
“Laws and principles are not for the times when there is no temptation: they are for such moments as this, when body and soul rise in mutiny against their rigour ... If at my convenience I might break them, what would be their worth?” - Charlotte Brontë, ''Jane Eyre''
“No evil dooms us hopelessly except the evil we love, and desire to continue in, and make no effort to escape from.” - George Eliot, ''Daniel Deronda''
“I sat in the sun on a bench; the animal within me licking the chops of memory; the spiritual side a little drowsed, promising subsequent penitence, but not yet moved to begin.” - [[Robert Louis Stevenson]], ''Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde''
