QUOTE : So‚ you preachers who want to lead me back to virtue‚ tell me it’s indispensable‚ a necessity‚ but don’t conceal the fact that it’s demanding and difficult. Make the point that the delights of love are fleeting‚ that they’re forbidden‚ that they’ll be followed by eternal suffering and – something that may well make an even greater impression on me – that the sweeter and more wonderful they are‚ the more handsomely heaven will reward such a great sacrifice‚ but admit that‚ with hearts the way we have them‚ it’s those delights which offer us the most perfect happiness available on earth.
