Si, te han mentido. El diablo no es el príncipe de la materia, el diablo es la arrogancia del espíritu, la fe sin sonrisa, la verdad jamás tocada por la duda. El diablo es sombrío porque sabe adónde va y siempre va hacia el sitio que procede. Eres el diablo, y como el diablo vives en las tinieblas.
~ Umberto Eco

~ Umberto Eco
Maar het is me vaak gebeurd dat ik de verleidelijkste voorstellingen van de zonde juist aantrof in de geschriften van die mannen van onkreukbare deugdzaamheid, die de bekoring en de invloeden ervan veroordeelden. Teken dat zij worden gedreven door een zodanige ijver om van de waarheid te getuigen dat zij, uit liefde voor God, niet aarzelen aan het kwaad alle verlokkingen toe te schrijven waarin het zich hult, om de mensen beter in kennis te stellen van de manieren waarop de Boze hen bekoort.
~ Umberto Eco
Soy culpable de su condenación, soy culpable de la condenación de todos los que se condenan, es justo que las tres mujeres no hayan sido mías: es el castigo por haberlas deseado. Pierdo la primera porque está en el paraíso, la segunda porque envidia en el purgatorio el pene que jamás tendrá, y la tercera porque está en el infierno. Teológicamente perfecto. Ya escrito.
~ Umberto Eco
The monkish vows keep us far from that sink of vice that is the female body, but often they bring us close to other errors. Can I finally hide from myself the fact that even today my old age is still stirred by the noonday demon when my eyes, in choir, happen to linger on the beardless face of a novice, pure and fresh as a maiden's?
~ Umberto Eco

~ Upton Sinclair
These are thing, Trudi's father told her long before she was old enough for confession, that the church call sins, but they are part of being human. And those we need to embrace. The most important thing-- He paused. --is to be kind.
~ Ursula Hegi
At war a Russian man puts on a white shirt. He may live in sin, but he dies like a saint.
~ Vasily Grossman
Informers and stool pigeons are full of virtue, they should all be released and sent home—but how vile they are! Vile for all their virtues, vile even with all their sins absolved...Who was it who made that cruel joke about the proud sound made by the word "Man"?
~ Vasily Grossman
We are so ignorant of our true condition that we know little more of ourselves than our name and address and how much we have; of our selfishness, our envy, our detraction, our sin, we know absolutely nothing. In fact, in order that we may never know ourselves, we hate silence and solitariness.
~ Venerable Fulton J. Sheen
Wasting talent is a sin. I'm not big on sin, but I know a sin when I see one staring me in the face. I'm not big on sin, but I know a sin when I see one staring me in the face. It's just not courteous to not use or wear something that somebody's given you as a well-meaning gift. It goes against Southern ways, not that God is Southern by any stretch of the imagination, but I do think He expects us to be an example for the rest of the country, as far as manners go.
~ Vicki Covington

~ Victor Hugo
He had, they said, tasted in succession all the apples of the tree of knowledge, and, whether from hunger or disgust, had ended by tasting the forbidden fruit.
~ Victor Hugo

~ Victor Hugo
The soul in the darkness sins, but the real sinner is he who caused the darkness.
~ Victor Hugo
He said, moreover, Teach those who are ignorant as many things as possible; society is culpable, in that it does not afford instruction gratis; it is responsible for the night which it produces. This soul is full of shadow; sin is therein committed. The guilty one is not the person who has committed the sin, but the person who has created the shadow. It will be perceived that he had a peculiar manner of his own of judging things: I suspect that he obtained it from the Gospel.
~ Victor Hugo
Teach the ignorant as much as you can; society is culpable in not providing instruction for all and it must answer for the night with it produces. If the soul is left in darkness, sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness. (Bishop of D)
~ Victor Hugo
To be a saint is to be an exception; to be a true man is the rule. Err, fail, sin if you must, but be upright. To sin as little as possible is the law for men; to sin not at all is a dream for angels. All earthly things are subject to sin; if is like the force of gravity.
~ Victor Hugo
