If I have ever sinned, it is that I cast down my shield and ran, that I withdrew before the contest had even begun so that some glimmer of cheap hopes and easy rewards would not be denied me.
If I have ever sinned, it is that I have forgotten who I am, and that I have been through unimaginably worse things than anything I can imagine happening now, and survived.
If I have ever sinned, it is that I did not realize the futility of my efforts and the utter and inherent worthlessness of the ends toward which they were directed.
If I have ever sinned, it is that I placed my own cheap comfort ahead of holding aloft the banner of the inherent dignity and divinity of Man.
"The word of Sin is Restriction."
