“The intellectual climate of the 1970s, for which the 1950s had already paved the way, contributed to this. A theory was even finally developed at that time that pedophilia should be viewed as something positive. Above all, however, the thesis was advocated-and this even infiltrated Catholic moral theology-that there was no such thing as something that is bad in itself. There were only things that were "relatively" bad. What was good or bad depended on the consequences.
In such a context, where everything is relative and nothing intrinsically evil exists, but only relative good and relative evil, people who have an inclination to such behavior are left without no solid footing. Of course pedophilia is first rather a sickness of individuals, but the fact that it could become so active and so widespread was linked also to an intellectual climate through which the foundations of moral theology, good and evil, became open to question in the Church. Good and evil became interchangeable; they were no longer absolutely clear opposites.”

“The fifties are a peaceful time, a quiet sleeping time between two noisy bursts of years, a blue and white time filled with sweet yellow days, music and bright smelling memories.”
― David Gerrold, The Man Who Folded Himself

“I have brought peace to this land, and security," he began.

"And what of your soul, when you use the cleverness of argument to cloak such acts? Do you think that the peace of a thousand cancels out the unjust death of one single person? It may be desirable, it may win you praise from those who have happily survived you and prospered from your deeds, but you have committed ignoble acts, and have been too proud to own them. I have waited patiently here, hoping that you would come to me, for if you understood, then some of your acts would be mitigated. But instead you send me this manuscript, proud, magisterial, and demonstrating only that you have understood nothing at all."

"I returned to public life on your advice, madam," he said stiffly.

"Yes; I advised it. I said if learning must die it should do so with a friend by its bedside. Not an assassin.”
― Iain Pears, The Dream of Scipio

“The "supreme good" and its attainment -- that is happiness. And joy is: response to happiness.”
― Josef Pieper, Happiness and Contemplation

“The "whole good" cannot be had, it would seem, without mustering all the strength of our inner life. Even in the sphere of external possessions there are goods which inherently demand, if they are to be truly ours, far more of us than mere acquisition. "'My garden,' the rich man said; his gardener smiled.”
― Josef Pieper, Happiness and Contemplation

“Do good though, will you?" She blinked brightly at the green girl. "If not for your parents or your grandmother, then for me?”

“...it was if another planet were calling. The call, embodied, issued in liquid syllables from the mouth of the Arab sailor who, on the prow of the Vestra each sun-up, looked toward the East and sang the Persian song:
Hearken unto dawn, oh, my soul...
Let good come unto the world.”
― Robert Edison Fulton Jr., One Man Caravan

“On a visit or vacation to Toba Lake,
you may say 'Horas' to Batak people,

“For, what is order without common sense, but Bedlam’s front parlor? What is imagination without common sense, but the aspiration to out-dandy Beau Brummell with nothing but a bit of faded muslin and a limp cravat? What is Creation without common sense, but a scandalous thing without form or function, like a matron with half a dozen unattached daughters?

And God looked upon the Creation in all its delightful multiplicity, and saw that, all in all, it was quite Amiable.”
― Vera Nazarian, Northanger Abbey and Angels and Dragons

“Mogo living brings about true freedom. When you have the inner conviction to do the most good and the least harm, you are free to say no to media, social, and peer pressures. You are free from a nagging sense that your life does not have value or meaning. You are free to imagine and then create a truly successful (in the deepest meaning on the word) life. You are free to be at peace with yourself and all those whom your life touches.”
― Zoe Weil, Most Good, Least Harm: A Simple Principle for a Better World and Meaningful Life

“Religion has a good place and it has its good people. ”
― Garry Marshall

“Добро в мире - изначально. Оно родилось вместе со Вселенной. Зло возникло просто как отрицание добра и всего мира. Беда в том, что злу живётся гораздо легче. У него ведь одна цель: уничтожить добро. А у добра целей две: во-первых, творить, строить, созидать мир, а во-вторых, защищать то, что сделано, от зла. Значит, и энергии нужно вдвое. А её у добра и зла, увы, поровну.
(Настоятель Пётр (Альбин Ксото) - Корнелию Гласу)”

“It was a man that killed him, Bran, but that is the price we have to pay for the freedom of men on the earth. That they can do the bad things as well as the good. There are shadows in the pattern, as well as sunlight.”
― Susan Cooper, The Grey King

“The problem with the battle between good and evil is that evil can act without scruples, but good cannot.”
― Marcese Maschietto

“With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion”
― Steven Weinberg
