We greedily eat and drink poison out of the gilded cup of vice, or from the beggar's wallet of avarice; we are sickened, degraded; everything good in us rebels against us; our souls rise bitterly indignant against our bodies; there is a period of civil war; if the soul has strength, it conquers and rules thereafter.”
Charlotte Brontë

“Tillich would say "We have that sense that something is not right, the kinds of anxiety and feelings of estrangement that are not neurotic that cannot be fixed are ontological and will always be with you" These are human conditions that cannot be healed.”
