Sin is both fatal and fertile....sin tends to both kill and reproduce. (p.55)
Sin becomes the punishement for sin. (55)
To pervert something is to twist it so that it serves an unworthy end (40)
To pollute something is to weaken a whole entity by introducing into it a foriegn element (44)
In sin as on ice, people coming out of a skid tend to oversteer (86)
Evil has no existence except as a privation of good
The heart of sin is the persistent refusal to tolerate a sense of sin...evil people are simultaneously aware oftheir evil and desprately trying to resist that awareness. (99)
