Moral Facts

Famous quotes containing the words moral and/or facts:

    We cannot assume the injustice of any actions which only create offense, and especially as regards religion and morals. He who utters or does anything to wound the conscience and moral sense of others, may indeed act immorally; but, so long as he is not guilty of being importunate, he violates no right.
    Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)

    How many facts we have fallen through
    And still the old façade glimmers there,
    A mirage, but permanent. We must first trick the idea
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
