Dolls fire our collective imagination, for better and - too often - for worse.

The Indian who was laid under a curse, that the wind should not blow on him, nor water flow to him, nor fire burn him, is a type of us all.

We look to that with a grim satisfaction, saying, there at least is reality that will not dodge us.

Oliver DeMille
-
It is easy enough to be virtuous When nothing tempts you to stray; When without or within No voice of sin Is luring your soul away. But it is only a negative virtue until it is tried by fire. For the soul that is worth the treasures of the earth is the soul that resists desire.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
