Somerset Maugham Understood Romans 7

Somerset Maugham was an atheist, and a best-selling British novelist of the 1930s. But we often know spiritual truths through by bitter experience even as we deny their foundations intellectually. His best-known book was titled Of Human Bondage. Regarding that title, Maugham said: “The impotence of man to govern or restrain the emotions I call bondage, for a man who is under their control is not his own master...so that he is often forced to follow the worse, although he see the better before him."
