This quote by Aphra Behn is a reminder that even those who strive to be good and moral can still make errors. It recommends that young people, who are frequently viewed as innocent and pure, can be just as efficient in sinning as anybody else. This is due to the fact that they are still finding out and growing, and may not yet have the experience or knowledge to make the right choices. It is a tip that nobody is perfect, which even those who aim to be excellent can still make mistakes. It is also a reminder that we need to be forgiving of others, and of ourselves, when we make errors. We ought to not be too tough on ourselves or others for making errors, as it is part of the knowing procedure.
"Neurotics complain of their illness, but they make the most of it, and when it comes to talking it away from them they will defend it like a lioness her young"
"Death is really a great blessing for humanity, without it there could be no real progress. People who lived for ever would not only hamper and discourage the young, but they would themselves lack sufficient stimulus to be creative"
