“I want to make it as clear as I possibly can that the centre of Christian morality is  not sexual morality. If anyone thinks that Christians regard unchastity as the supreme

vice, he is quite wrong. The sins of the flesh are bad, but they are the  least bad of all

sins. All the worst pleasures are purely spiritual: the pleasure of putting other people in

the wrong, of bossing and patronizing and spoiling sport, and back-biting; the

pleasures of power, of hatred.

For there are two things inside me, competing with the human self which I must try to

become. They are the Animal self, and the Diabolical self. The Diabolical self is the

worse of the two. That is why a cold, self-righteous prig who goes regularly to church

may be far nearer to hell than a prostitute. But, of course, it is better to be neither...”
