Original sin is in us like our beard. We are shaved today and look clean; tomorrow our beard has grown again, nor does it cease growing while we remain on earth. In like manner original sin cannot be extirpated from us; it springs up in us as long as we live.

Great thieves go Scott-free, as the Pope and his crew.

There is no wisdom save in truth.
