Moral Interest

Famous quotes containing the words moral and/or interest:

    “It is easy and dismally enervating to think of opposition as merely perverse or actually evil—far more invigorating to see it as essential for honing the mind, and as a positive good in itself. For the day that moral issues cease to be fought over is the day the word “human” disappears from the race.”
    —Jill Tweedie (b. 1936)

    “I should consider it a greater success to interest one wise and earnest soul, than a million unwise and frivolous.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
