Quote by Oscar Wilde
Do you really think, Arthur, that it is weakness that yields to temptation? I tell you that there are terrible temptations that it requires strength, strength and courage, to yield to.
Summary

Instead, they argue that there are certain temptations that are so overwhelming that it takes great strength and courage to give in to them. The quote suggests that resisting temptation does not always indicate strength, as succumbing to certain desires can require a different kind of inner strength to navigate and confront powerful temptations.
