Sin Quotes

Forbear to judge, for we are sinners all.

Vanity is definitely my favorite sin. It's so basic—self-love, the all-natural opiate.

Do you think if a man sincerely repents on what he done wrong... that he might get to go back to the time that was happiest for him... and live there forever? Could that be what heaven's like?

He's paid what he owed. He's square with the house again... so keep your goddamn hands off him.

Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy.
They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corncribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us.
That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.

All men sin. Resentment, fear, jealousy, impatience, grief, desire…These and other things give rise to temptation.

Well, if we only had moral thoughts, what would the poor churchmen find to do?

Ironic Quotes

The Greeks say it’s a sin against the gods to love something beyond all reason. And do you remember that they say when someone is loved so, the Gods become jealous, and strike the object down in the very fullness of its flower? There’s a lesson in it, Meggie. It’s profane to love too much.

People talk sometimes of secret vices. There are no such things. If a wretched man has a vice, it shows itself in the lines of his mouth, the droop of his eyelids, the moulding of his hands even.

Oscar Wilde

The Picture of Dorian Gray

Basil Hallward

But the bravest man amongst us is afraid of himself. The mutilation of the savage has its tragic survival in the self-denial that mars our lives.
We are punished for our refusals. Every impulse that we strive to strangle broods in the mind, and poisons us.
The body sins once, and has done with its sin, for action is a mode of purification. Nothing remains then but the recollection of a pleasure, or the luxury of a regret. The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself, with desire for what its monstrous laws have made monstrous and unlawful. It has been said that the great events of the world take place in the brain.
