“Why are those who are notoriously undisciplined and unmoral also most contemptuous of religion and morality? They are trying to solace their own unhappy lives by pulling the happy down to their own abysmal depths.”
“Those might not be the very best judges of the relation of religion to happiness who, by their own account, had neither one nor the other.”
“I have no religion,’ says Borneau, ‘but I respect the religion of others. Religion is sacred.’ Why this privilege, this immunity?... A believer creates God in his own image; if he is ugly, his God will be morally ugly. Why should moral ugliness be respectable?”
“People will try to spoil ur happiness just because they are unhappy with their own life... Stand ur ground!!”
“A moral person is someone who accepts the consequences of their own morality, not those of others.”
“Those who can soar to the highest heights can also plunge to the deepest depths and the natures which enjoy most keenly are those which also suffer most sharply.”
