1 " I spent an hour looking at pots and carpets in the museums the other day, until the desire to describe them became like the desire for the lusts of the flesh. "
― Virginia Woolf , The Letters of Virginia Woolf: Volume Two, 1912-1922
2 " Nothing but a miracle of grace can lead to the saving of any sinner. Oh, my reader, be not deceived on this vital matter; to mortify the lusts of the flesh, to be crucified unto the world, to overcome the Devil, to die daily unto sin and live unto righteousness, to be meek and lowly in heart, trustful and obedient, pious and patient, faithful and uncompromising, loving and gentle; in a word, to be a Christian, to be Christ-like, is a task far, far beyond the poor resources of fallen human nature. "
― Arthur W. Pink
3 " I tell them that if they will occupy themselves with the study of mathematics they will find in it the best remedy against the lusts of the flesh. "
― Thomas Mann
