Moral Realists

Famous quotes containing the words moral and/or realists:

“Of moral purpose I see no trace in Nature. That is an article of exclusively human manufacture—and very much to our credit.”

“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)
