Summary

This quote underscores the notion that we are not condemned to a life of evil and despair unless we consciously embrace and perpetuate it. It emphasizes the idea that evil only prevails when we willingly choose to love it, cling to it, and resist any attempt to break free from it. It implies that escaping from evil requires both recognition of its presence and a genuine effort to resist its allure, as hope can only be restored through a deliberate choice to reject evil and seek a path towards goodness.

Fables should be taught as fables, myths as myths, and miracles as poetic fantasies. To teach superstitions as truths is a most terrible thing. The child mind accepts and believes them, and only through great pain and perhaps tragedy can he be in after years relieved of them.
