Virtuous

Famous quotes containing the word virtuous:

“Anybody can be virtuous now. You can carry at least half your morality about in a bottle. Christianity without tears—that’s what soma is.”

“Our virtues are all social; if,
Deprived of solitude, you chafe,
It’s clear you’re not the virtuous sort.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
