Moral Realists

Famous quotes containing the words moral and/or realists:

“The moral is that it is probably better not to sin at all, but if

Well, remember to do it by doing rather than by not doing.”

“Allusion has been made to [Proust’s] contempt for the literature that “describes,” for the realists and naturalists worshipping the offal of experience, prostrate before the epidermis and the swift epilepsy, and content to transcribe the surface, the façade, behind which the Idea is prisoner.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
