Michael Bassey Johnson
“Young girls are like helpless children in the hands of amorous men, whatever is said to them is true and whatever manipulation on their bodies seems like love to them, sooner or later, they come back to their senses, but the scars are not dead inasmuch as her spoiler lives.”
Michael Bassey Johnson, Scars Of Beauty

Criss Jami
“All individuals have moral deficiencies, and when introducing these to reality one not only strengthens himself but also the confidence of others in the human exigency for Christ due to a reflection throughout the body of Christ.”
Criss Jami, Salomé: In Every Inch In Every Mile

Charles Sanders Peirce
“Let it be considered that what is more wholesome than any particular belief is integrity of belief; and that to avoid looking into the support of any belief from a fear that it may turn out rotten is quite as immoral as it is disadvantageous.”
Charles Sanders Peirce

“FRUITS AND NUTS


Keep jumping around them like monkeys.
The clones,
Commercialized zombies,
And the TV junkies.
Keep throwing berries,
Twigs,
And nuts at them.
Until they wake up
To see what's up
And figure out why
We're laughing at 'em.”
Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

Vladimir Nabokov
“No doubt, he is horrible, he is abject, he is a shining example of moral leprosy, a mixture of ferocity and jocularity that betrays supreme misery perhaps, but is not conductive to attractiveness.
He is ponderously capricious.
Many of his casual opinions on people and scenery of this country are ludicrous.
A desperate honesty that throbs through his confession does not absolve him from sins of diabolical cunning.
He is abnormal.
He is not a gentleman.
But how magically his singing violin can conjure up a tendresse, a compassion for Lolita that makes us entranced with the book while abhorring it’s author!”
Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita

Markus Zusak
“We might be criminals, but we’re not totally immoral”
Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

Amit Kalantri, Wealth of Words

Mokokoma Mokhonoana

Mokokoma Mokhonoana

Craig D. Lounsbrough
“My conscience might not permit me to do the things that the darker side of me would most certainly like to do. But in the end, what makes the greater story; how I beat the darker side or how it beat me?”
Craig D. Lounsbrough

Richard Bachman
“Sure they're animals. You think you just found out a new principle? Sometimes I wonder just how naive you really are. The French lords and ladies used to screw after the guillotinings. The old Romans used to stuff each other during the gladiatorial matches. That's entertainment, Garraty. It's nothing new.”
Richard Bachman, The Long Walk

“Just as in the Trump-Giuliani Ukraine conspiracy, we saw a ruthless, single-minded obsession with staying in power; a manifest lack of moral values, shame, and civility; and a stunning disregard of and disrespect for facts, truth, and expertise.”
Marie Yovanovitch, Lessons from the Edge: A Memoir

Ernest Hemingway
“So far, about morals, I know only that what is moral is what you feel good after and what is immoral is what you feel bad after and judged by these moral standards, which I do not defend, the bullfight is very moral to me because I feel very fine while it is going on and have a feeling of life and death and mortality and immortality, and after it is over I feel very sad but very fine.”
Ernest Hemingway, Death in the Afternoon

Ehsan Sehgal
“Stop immoral and illegitimate spying the privacy of others, before you regret with shame and sorry. It makes you accountable, to your conscience, and God.”
Ehsan Sehgal

Awdhesh Singh
“Morality means sacrificing your personal interest for the interest of the group and being immoral means keeping the interest of the self above the interest of the group. In the real world, you have to be a little selfish (immoral) to take care of yourself and accumulate the riches, and only then can you afford to become selfless (moral) by distributing what you have accumulated.”
Awdhesh Singh, Myths are Real, Reality is a Myth

“Society inures us to acts of immorality and decadence. We passively accept violence and exploitation as part of the cultural normative. When the Wall Street Kings crashed their money mobile, Congress was quick to pass bailout bills. How many of these same Congressmen and Wall Street millionaires do you think ever reached into their pocket to buy a homeless person a sandwich?”
Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

Howard Tayler
“This isn't immoral. Merely illegal, and fun.
— Haley Sorlie”
Howard Tayler, Delegates and Delegation

C.A.A. Savastano
“There is something worse than obvious immorality and that is false morality.”
C.A.A. Savastano

“No matter if a person believes in God or believes in the power of the universe, it takes no religious nor scientific evidence to make us all agree that there is good and bad, moral and immoral. This only requires logic and common sense.”
Nadine Sadaka Boulos

“Morality is dialectically trumped by something else – reason and logic. Smarter people – intellectuals – are the least likely to be immoral. It’s not because they’re “better” people morally; it’s because their rationality allows them to control their irrational, selfish impulses. A rational person understands that rationally he ought to treat others well if he wants them to treat him well. “Do as you would be done by” is a rational, not a moral, assertion. An immoral person couldn’t care less about treating others as he wants to be treated; in fact, he’s determined that he shouldn’t be treated that way. He wants complete asymmetry. Only a rational person will truly obey the Golden Rule. Why? Simply because it’s the rational thing to do. If you don’t treat others well, there’s no reason for them to treat you well. If you want a nice, civilized life, make sure you offer it to everyone else. If you don’t, the people having horrible lives will have something to say about it in due course.”
Ranty McRanterson, Kill Religion!: The Deserved Death of Faith

Mango Wodzak
“To see if an act is immoral or not, ask yourself firstly "is it necessary".. if it is not, ask yourself "does it cause "harm", or does it bring more "harmony" ? Non vegan practises are built on violence and oppression and are therefore immoral and to be avoided to the best of one's abilities, especially if one wishes oneself to be left to live in peace and liberty..”
Mango Wodzak

Amit Kalantri
“You are a corrupt mind if what you say publicly doesn't matches with what you say privately.”
Amit Kalantri, Wealth of Words

Oswald Chambers
“If I build my life on the things which God did not form He will have to destroy them, shake them back into chaos. That is why whenever a man, moral or immoral, sees for the first time the light of God in Jesus Christ it produces conviction of sin, and he cries out, 'Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.”
Oswald Chambers, Gems from genesis

Gregory Maguire
“I do not listen when anyone uses the word 'immoral'. In the young it is ridiculous. In the old, it is sententious and reactionary. In the middle-aged, who love and fear the idea of moral life the most, it is hypocritical.”
Gregory Maguire, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West

Craig D. Lounsbrough
“If we throw ethics to the wind, we will find ourselves on a journey where we’re always walking into the wind.”
Craig D. Lounsbrough

Craig D. Lounsbrough
“Living an immoral life is like supergluing a bomb to your body that you have no way to disarm. You might be able to live in denial of the bomb, but you’re going to find it very difficult to live in denial of the explosion.”
Craig D. Lounsbrough

Craig D. Lounsbrough
“Despite the insistence of our denial, immoral decisions will always leave us stalking ourselves. And if we are sufficiently foolish to make enough of those kinds of decisions, it will take very little time for the hunt to be successful.”
Craig D. Lounsbrough

“Anything related or made political...
It is never to the advantage of the people.”
Ricardo Derose

Craig D. Lounsbrough
“The people who believe that ethics, morals, and values are the product of a by-gone era are the very people for which that by-gone era existed.”
Craig D. Lounsbrough

Jack Freestone
“For many actors their best performances are not in any movie or on any stage, but rather perfecting a public image of themselves having moral character and virtue, which is usually the opposite of what they are in in reality, behind closed doors.”
Jack Freestone
