Gregory of Nyssa: "Ada satu penangkal nafsu jahat: pemurnian jiwa kita...
"Ada satu penangkal nafsu jahat: pemurnian jiwa kita yang terjadi melalui misteri kesalehan. Tindakan utama iman dalam misteri ini adalah memandang Dia yang menderita hasrat bagi kita. Salib adalah hasrat, sehingga siapa pun yang melihatnya? tidak dirugikan oleh racun keinginan. Memandang salib berarti membuat seluruh hidup seseorang mati dan disalibkan ke dunia."

Versi Bahasa Inggris
There is one antidote for evil passions: the purification of our souls which takes place through the mystery of godliness. The chief act of faith in this mystery is to look to Him who suffered the passion for us. The cross is the passion, so that whoever looks to it? is not harmed by the poison of desire. To look to the cross means to render one's whole life dead and crucified to the world.
