Morally

Famous quotes containing the word morally:

—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

“We grow with years more fragile in body, but morally stouter, and can throw off the chill of a bad conscience almost at once.”
—Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)

“Morality for the novelist is expressed not so much in the choice of subject matter as in the plot of the narrative, which is perhaps why in our morally bewildered time novelists have often been timid about plot.”
—Jane Rule (b. 1931)
