“La mentira consiste en pretender que todo acto sexual al que te sientes tentado es ipso facto saludable y normal. Pues bien; esto, desde cualquier punto de vista, y sin ninguna relación con el cristianismo, tiene que ser una insensatez. Ceder a todos nuestros deseos evidentemente conduce a la impotencia, la enfermedad, los celos, la mentira, la ocultación y todo aquello que es lo opuesto a la felicidad, la franqueza y el buen humor. Para cualquier tipo de felicidad, incluso en este mundo, se necesitará una gran dosis de control, de modo que lo que pretende cualquier clase de deseo fuerte, ser sano y razonable, no cuenta para nada. Todo hombre cuerdo y civilizado debe tener un conjunto de principios según los cuales elija rechazar algunos de sus deseos y permitir otros. Un hombre hace esto basándose en los principios cristianos; otro, en principios de higiene; otro, en principios sociológicos.”

We cannot allow fear to control our lives. We must control fear.”
