    While moral rules may be propounded by authority the fact that these were so propounded would not validate them.
    —A.J. (Alfred Jules)

    ... life is moral responsibility. Life is several other things, we do not deny. It is beauty, it is joy, it is tragedy, it is comedy, it is psychical and physical pleasure, it is the interplay of a thousand rude or delicate motions and emotions, it is the grimmest and the merriest motley of phantasmagoria that could appeal to the gravest or the maddest brush ever put to palette; but it is steadily and sturdily and always moral responsibility.
    Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)

    Different rules apply when it gets this late. You know what I mean? It’s, like, after hours.
    Joseph Minion, U.S. screenwriter, and Martin Scorsese. Peter (Rocco Sisto)
