And the pity conquers the loathing, appeases it, satisfies it, is reconciled with it, only as it redeems the sinner from his loathsomeness, lifts him up from his degradation, brings him to truth and purity, to love and righteousness; for only thus is he or can he be brought to God.", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Lyman Abbott" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/lyman-abbott/if-the-impure-and-the-unjust-the-drunkard-and-the-licentious-are/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/5cf/lyman-abbott-12542_ambitious_if-the-impure-and-the-unjust-the-drunkar_194821.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/5cf/lyman-abbott-12542_ambitious_if-the-impure-and-the-unjust-the-drunkar_194821.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/5cf/lyman-abbott-12542_ambitious_if-the-impure-and-the-unjust-the-drunkar_194821.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“If the impure and the unjust, the drunkard and the licentious, are loathsome to us, what must be the…” — Lyman Abbott", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“But depression wasn't the word. This was a plunge encompassing sorrow and revulsion far beyond the personal: a sick, drenching nausea at all humanity and human endeavor from the dawn of time.

And yet somehow people still kept fucking and breeding and popping out new fodder for the grave, producing more and more new beings to suffer like this was some kind of redemptive, or good, or even somehow morally admirable thing: dragging more innocent creatures into the lose-lose game. Squirming babies and plodding, complacent, hormone-drugged moms. Oh, isn't he cute? Awww. Kids shouting and skidding in the playground with no idea what future Hells await them: boring jobs and ruinous mortgages and bad marriages and hair loss and hip replacements and lonely cups of coffee in an empty house and a colostomy bag at the hospital.

People gambled and golfed and planted gardens and traded stocks and had sex and bought new cars and practiced yoga and worked and prayed and redecorated their homes and got worked up over the news and fussed over their children and gossiped about their neighbors and pored over restaurant reviews and founded charitable organizations and supported political candidates and attended the U.S. Open and dined and travelled and distracted themselves with all kinds of gadgets and devices, flooding themselves incessantly with information and texts and communication and entertainment from every direction to try to make themselves forget it: where we were, what we were.
