“I see what is right and approve, but I do what is wrong.”
“I have never wished to cater to the crowd; for what I know they do not approve, and what they approve I do not know.”
“What am I doing wrong? Better question what am I doing right?”
“I am dragged along by a strange new force. Desire and reason are pulling in different directions. I see the right way and approve it, but follow the wrong.”
“In a word, I was too cowardly to do what I knew to be right, as I had been too cowardly to avoid doing what I knew to be wrong.”
“I have called this book "What Is Wrong with the World?" and the upshot of the title can be easily and clearly stated. What is wrong is that we do not ask what is right.”
