Analysis Quote by O.C. McSwite
““Analysis, when seen as limited and never final, helps force the question of human responsibility, human judgment, and the suffering that accompanies the assumption of the burden they impose. It is our willingness to assume this burden of suffering that is the only salvation we have, in the end, against evil.””
