Sin is not some demonic thing. It’s just our perverse tendency to fuck things up, to favor the short term over the long term, the lower over the higher. Sin, when it is committed over and over again, hardens into loyalty to a lower love.

A sin is anything that you do which goes against yourself.

Sin, sin! To rid myself of boredom by committing a crime, to break up monotony by deceiving. To sin in order to be a new person, another person. To hate life worse than it hated me. To sin so as not to die.

Sin is looking for the right thing in the wrong place.

Sin is the blurring of truth which clouds the purity of our consciousness. In sin we lust after pleasures, not because they are truly desirable, but because the red light of our passions makes them appear desirable; we long for things not because they are great in themselves, but because our greed exaggerates them and makes them appear great.

Sin is whatever obscures the soul.

My definition of a sin is for humans to allow a species to die out. Animals cannot speak for themselves – it is up to all of us to protect them and their habitats.

A major fact of our present civilization is that more and more sin becomes collective, and the individual is forced to participate in collective sin.

Sin is a thing that writes itself across a man's face. It cannot be concealed.

Sin is: in despair not wanting to be oneself before God.

Sin is geographical.

Every sin is the result of a colaboration

sin is always an offense that touches others, that alters the world and damages it.

Sin is Energy in the wrong channel.
