I am unwilling to be wholly good—and please don't regard me as wholly evil!

That an error made on your own is safer than ten truths accepted on faith, because the first leaves you the means to correct it but the second destroys your capacity to distinguish truth from error.

I loathe your ideals because I know no worse injustice than the giving of the undeserved.
