Beautiful Lust Devil

More From Dwight L. Moody

A man can counterfeit love, he can counterfeit faith, he can counterfeit hope and all the other graces, but it is very difficult to counterfeit humility.

First of all, i love women. but i lust after beautiful women in the way that i lust after a beautiful piece of sculpture - this will probably get me in trouble - or a beautiful car. i believe everyone's on a sliding scale of sexuality. there are moments where i am sexually attracted to women. but it doesn't overpower my first impulse; my lust for them is the same as my lust for beauty in all things.

You're looking at me as though i'm weird. my god! are you so out of touch with most of america, most of which believes in the devil? i mean, jesus christ believed in the devil! it's in the gospels! you travel in circles that are so, so removed from mainstream america that you are appalled that anybody would believe in the devil! most of mankind has believed in the devil, for all of history. many more intelligent people than you or me have believed in the devil.

Love comforteth like sunshine after rain, but lust's effect is tempest after sun; love's gentle spring doth always fresh remain, lust's winter comes ere summer half be done; love surfeits not, lust like a glutton dies; love is all truth, lust full of forged lies.

There can be no sexual love without lust; but, on the other hand, until the currents of lust in the organism have been irradiatedas to affect other parts of the psychic organism--at the least the affections and the social feelings--it is not yet sexual love. lust, the specific sexual impulse, is indeed the primary and essential element in this synthesis, for it alone is adequate to the end of reproduction, not only in animals but in men. but it is not until lust is expanded and irradiated that it develops into the exquisite and enthralling flower of love.

The devil ain't got no power over me. the devil come, and me shake hands with the devil. devil have his part to play. devil's a good friend, too... because when you don't know him, that's the time he can mosh you down.

I'm blessed in my good friends, and some of them happen to be writers, though that's almost never what our friendships are about. and every writer i've ever read, living or dead, has in one way or another helped and inspired. i have a feeling it's important not to mix the two up.

I just never have really been the kind of person that's out in public being inappropriate, i guess. i like to have fun as much as the next person but i tend to do it in private and just hang out with close friends. if i'm going to go out, i'll just do it with my really good friends.

I love clothes, but really i don't have that much to say about skirts. before i was writing, i went to fashion shows only when the designer was a good friend and i was there to show support.

We just became very good friends [with dwight eisenhower], we played golf, we played heart exhibitions. then his doctor said he should not play golf anymore.
