Those born blind cannot see; similarly blind are those in the grip of lust. Proud men have no perception of evil; and those bent on acquiring riches see no sin in their actions.

There is no austerity equal to a balanced mind, and there is no happiness equal to contentment; there is no disease like covetousness, and no virtue like mercy.

Women have hunger two-fold, shyness four-fold, daring six-fold, and lust eight-fold as compared to men.

Poverty, disease, sorrow, imprisonment and other evils are the fruits borne by the tree of one's own sins.

Once you've seen a solution to the disease that's tearing you apart, relapsing is never fun.

I'm a very emotional person, a person of real extremes, and that's often destructive both to myself and others.
