What does this quote mean? Thanks
Answers:
Of all the bizarre Oscar Wilde quotes, this is the most straightforward. Let's put it in current usage: the body sins once, meaning if you screw someone you're not supposed to, then that is the sin. You've done it; over and done with; move on. Whereas, if you don't do it, you just keep thinking about it all the time and committing sin after sin after sin.
it's saying that physical sin is temporary and after you have sinned you are no longer a sinner once the act is over. nonphysical sins like lying do not end once the act is committed because you have to keep up with it from then on. this is from the picture of dorian gray!
