Moral Sense

Famous quotes containing the words moral and/or sense:

    There is no moral authority like that of sacrifice.
    Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)

    ... I was crying partly because I felt that this was expected of me, partly from genuine repentance, but partly also because of a deeper grief which is peculiar to childhood and not easy to convey: a sense of desolate loneliness and helplessness, of being locked up not only in a hostile world but in a world of good and evil where the rules were such that it was actually not possible for me to keep them.
    George Orwell (1903–1950)
