Quote by Oscar Wilde

The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself, with desire for what its monstrous laws have made monstrous and unlawful. It has been said that the great events of the world take place in the brain. It is in the brain, and the brain only, that the great sins of the world take place also.


The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. R

Summary

This quote suggests that suppressing temptations can result in a deep longing for what is forbidden. Yielding to temptation, on the other hand, allows the temptation to pass and relieves the soul from its longing. It implies that the root of great events and sins lies in the mind, emphasizing the power of thoughts and desires. The quote highlights the psychological aspects of temptation and urges an acknowledgment of one's inner desires rather than strict denial.
