"I have since learned - helping me to understand what then began to happen within me - that the truth can be quickly received, or received at all, only by the sinner who knows and admits that he is guilty of having sinned much. Stated another way: only guilt admitted accepts truth. The Bible again: the one people who Jesus could not help were the Pharisees; they didn't feel they needed any help.
The enormity of my previous life's guilt prepared me to accept the truth. "
-Malcolm X, The Autobiography of Malcolm X (pg.166-167)
