"When asked what the unpardonable sin is, Brand replies, 'It is a sin that grew within my own breast. A sin that grew nowhere else! The sin of an intellect that triumphed over the sense of brotherhood with man and reverence for God, and sacrificed everything to its own mighty claims!'"
(from the short story "Ethan Brand," by American novelist and short story writer Nathaniel Hawthorne, 1848)
