Temptation



"In our members there is a slumbering inclination towards desire which is both sudden and fierce. With irresistible power desire seizes mastery over flesh. All at once a secret, smoldering fire is kindled...The lust thus aroused envelops the mind and will of man in deepest darkness. The power of clear discrimination and of decision are taken from us."

Pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer was hung by Hitler on April 9,1945
