"Satan tells you that you are your own mistress, that you can do what you like with your life and with your body. He represents life and the bringing forth of life as something shameful and animal, and speaks of the God-given power to re-create as the 'lower instincts.' He feeds the mind with vanity, he turns the thirst for right knowledge into curiosity and inquisitiveness, and poisons and sullies the thought. He degrades love into a passion, and the body into an instrument for self-indulgence, to the ultimate ruin of both body and soul. You will influence every man you meet; you will either draw him upwards or drag him downwards. On which side are you preparing to fight, God's or the Devil's?" - p. 18.
