Depravity Quotes

Poetry of World War I, at least in its lyrical mode, was itself the last flowering of the Age of Innocence that preceded the war, that the horrors of the trenches sparked the final blossoming, as friction gives rise to fire; that the daily nightmare unfolding before the soldiers sharpened their sense of beauty, prophecy, and mission.

I am praying that the issues from the last 12 generations go into the ground with me so I have NEW issue is to pass on to my son.

One is not necessarily made self-centered because he is foolish, but one is very often made foolish because he is self-centered.

All our good is apparently from God, because we are first naked and holy without any good, and afterwards enriched with all good.

Jonathan Edwards

The ongoing struggle to achieve a profound harmony between the deepest and most conflicting impulses of human beings instates the murkiness of my soul. The battle against the amorphousness of sin and depravity, and seeking unity and clarity, trace their origins to the primeval fire that launched humanity. This ancient warfare for control of the soul allows me to create myself. Because of the primordial inconsistences between ecstasy and reason, I am the repentant artist of my being. I am a beardless, sensuous, and androgynous sculptor, the redeemer and the transformer of my naked self.
