It is a mistake to think that the brothers of the dark side are, as a rule, licentious and indifferent to what you call morality.

On the contrary, they are exceedingly strict.

Their faults are the faults of the mind, not the faults of the lower desires, of the organs of the different bodies which may gratify them.

Their faults are the more dangerous faults of mental powers misused for personal ends.
