Seven Deadly Sins: Lust

"I wasn't in love with her. And she didn't love me. For me the question of love was irrelevant. What I sought was the sense of being tossed about by some raging, savage force, in the midst of which lays something absolutely crucial. I had no idea what that was. But I wanted to thrust my hand right inside her body and touch it..."

Seven Deadly Sins: Gluttony

"Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
And in the master's chambers,
they gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
'Relax', said the night man,
'We are programmed to receive.
You can check out any time you like,
But you can never leave..."

The Eagles, Hotel California

Seven Deadly Sins: Pride

Pride or υβρις, according to ancient Greeks, is the original and most serious deadly sin, from which everything else derives. You may call it narcissism, you may call it arrogance, you may call it self-absorption. Is it of human nature? Of course.. Is it gratifying? Maybe..Is it forgivable? Probably not..

"I do not care so much what I am to others as I care what I am to myself"
