1 " Make not, when you work a deed of shame, The scoundrel's plea, 'My forbears did the same. "
― Abū al-ʿAlāʾ al-Maʿarrī
2 " In time, Mr Hall, one gets to recognize that sneer, that hardness, for fornication extends far beyond the actual deed. Were it a deed only, I for one would not hold it anathema. But when the nations went a whoring they invariably ended by denying God, I think, and until all sexual irregularities and not some of them are penal the Church will never reconquer England. "
3 " Inaction in a deed of mercy becomes an action in a deadly sin. "
― Helena Petrovna Blavatsky , The Voice of the Silence: Being Extracts from the Book of the Golden Precepts
4 " Life would not be the same ever again. I would laugh again like a happy man would, seemingly with few worries in the world, yes, for memories fade, even of a deed like the one I had committed. However, the knowledge was there, sad and lingering, and I knew I had lost something. "
― Alaric Longward , The Oath Breaker (Hraban Chronicles #1)
