Famous quotes containing the words moral and/or interest:
“Cheap thrill: moral outrage revels in its own innocence and in the guilt of the wicked Others.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“My neighbors tell me of their adventures with famous gentlemen and ladies, what notabilities they met at the dinner-table; but I am no more interested in such things than in the contents of the Daily Times. The interest and the conversation are about costume and manners chiefly; but a goose is a goose still, dress it as you will.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
