Sigrid Undset quotes about
path right-road my-own
All my days I have longed equally to travel the right road and to take my own errant path.
bottles morality empty
The morality code that remains after the religion that produced it is rejected is like the perfume that lingers in an empty bottle.
today dogma should
One cannot escape dogmas—those who hold most firmly to dogmas today are those whose only dogma is that dogmas should be feared like the plague.
flames lust temptation
the most dangerous temptations are not due to the active, sudden flames of desire, 'the lusts of the flesh,' but to the disinclinations of the flesh, its indolence and sluggishness, our tendency to become creatures of habit.
soon-enough may done
God grant ... that he may learn to understand in time, that whoso is minded to do as he himself wills will soon enough see the day when he will find he has done that which he had never willed.
