Moral Interest

Famous quotes containing the words moral and/or interest:

    Neither moral relations nor the moral law can swing in vacuo. Their only habitat can be a mind which feels them; and no world composed of merely physical facts can possibly be a world to which ethical propositions apply.
    William James (1842–1910)

    They were evidently small men, all wind and quibbles, flinging out their chaffy grain to us with far less interest than a farm- wife feels as she scatters corn to her fowls.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
