“The more cashless our society becomes, the more our moral compass slips.”
“I fear we have become a society more interested in writing the quote of another, than living the lesson, and creating a quote of our own.”
“Our standards of morality are begotten of the past needs of society, but is society to remain always the same?”
“Being both more systematically brutal than chimps and more empathetic than bonobos, we are by far the most bipolar ape. Our societies are never completely peaceful, never completely competitive, never ruled by sheer selfishness, and never perfectly moral.”
“The more civilized we become, the more horrendous our entertainments.”
“In a truly moral society, most of our current laws would not exist.”
