The dread of a permanently wicked human nature takes two forms. One is a practical fear: that social reform is a waste of time because human nature is unchangeable. The other is a deeper concern, which grows out of the Romantic belief that what is natural is good.

And so everything to do with the faith is trying to put you in relationship with God and trying to make that relationship grow deeper and more mature. — Kevin Hart
