If I thought a man had never committed a sin in his life, I don't think I'd want to talk with him. A man with flaws is more interesting.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Man's sin is in his failure to live what he is. Being the master of the earth, man forgets that he is the servant of God.
I am a man of many flaws and contradictions.
With my physicality and my face, I don't think I could pull off a completely righteous guy. There's something devious about my eyes. I like characters with flaws and to see how they overcome those flaws. I want to play real people, and they're flawed, not perfect.
All of us make mistakes. The key is to acknowledge them, learn, and move on. The real sin is ignoring mistakes, or worse, seeking to hide them.
Original sin is that thing about man which makes him capable of conceiving of his own perfection and incapable of achieving it.
For sin is just this, what man cannot by its very nature do with his whole being; it is possible to silence the conflict in the soul, but it is not possible to uproot it.
The only sin is ugliness, and if we believed this with all our being, all other activities of the human spirit could be left to take care of themselves.
There are only two kinds of men: the righteous who think they are sinners and the sinners who think they are righteous.
He that falls into sin is a man; that grieves at it, is a saint; that boasteth of it, is a devil.
Men have the power of thinking that they may avoid sin.
