“Every little boy thinks he invented sin. Virtue we think we learn, because we are told about it. But sin is our own designing” (326)
“I think this old and terrible story is important because it is a chart of the soul—the secret, rejected guilty soul. Mr. Trask, you said you did not kill your brother and then you remembered something. I don’t want to know what it was, but was it very far apart from Cain and Abel?” (329)
“What freedom men and women could have, were they not constantly tricked and trapped and enslaved and tortured by their sexuality! The only drawback in that freedom is that without it one would not be a human. One would be a monster” (93)
“Maybe it’s true that we are all descended from the restless, the nervous, the criminals, the arguers and the brawlers, but also the brave and independent and generous. If our ancestors had not been that, they would have stayed in their home plots in the other world and starved over the squeezed-out soil...We all have that heritage, no matter what old land our fathers left” (689)
