“We're moving towards such a strange time.A time when all our moral choices will be complicated and compromised by our love of progress”

“We're all strange in our own strange way.”

“A strange fanaticism fills our time: the fanatical hatred of morality, especially of Christian morality.”

“I use this as a paradigm for our whole attitude toward life, what you did was you worked very hard, you try to understand and try to direct these complicated, powerful forces and at the very end of the struggle you've made no progress at all. That upon discovering that, you've raised to a lofty moral height, and you've accepted your fate, and somehow went on.”

“Our days are so few, our existences so complicated. As long as we're breathing we shouldn't further complicate our lives.”

“When we understand what is right and what is wrong, we are in a position to exercise our freedom in making choices. In so doing, we must stand accountable for our decisions, and we cannot escape the inevitable consequences of these choices. Such freedom to exercise moral agency is essential in an environment where people have the highest prospects for progress and development.”
