“My books always say something, even if it’s just something simple like: 'Don’t genetically engineer crabs to be as big as men.”
― Garth Marenghi

“Humans are like dragons, Grith decided. Both had the capacity to do good, and the capacity to do evil. Today, a lot had done evil, but she’d seen good, too. And just as she thought it was wrong to kill an evil dragon, she decided it was wrong to kill an evil human, whether witch, wizard, or mundane.”
― Rowan Silver, Feathers of Gold

“Men of a fat and fertile soil are most commonly effeminate and cowards; whereas contrariwise a barren country make men temperate by necessity, and by consequence careful, vigilant, and industrious.”
― Jean Bodin

“All stories are lessons.

Fairy tales have a moral: Stay on the path. Don't trust wolves. Don't steal things, not even things you think no normal person would care about. Share your food but don't trust people who want to share their food with you; don't eat their shiny red apples, nor their candy houses, nor any of it. Be nice, always nice, and polite to everyone: kings and beggars, witches and wounded bears. Don't break a promise.

Be bold, be bold, but not too bold.”
― Holly Black, The Lost Sisters

“So far, about morals, I know only that what is moral is what you feel good after and what is immoral is what you feel bad after and judged by these moral standards, which I do not defend, the bullfight is very moral to me because I feel very fine while it is going on and have a feeling of life and death and mortality and immortality, and after it is over I feel very sad but very fine.”
― Ernest Hemingway, Death in the Afternoon

“Since one's moral identity is socially constructed, one must always be prepared to justify -both to others and oneself- why one chose one course of action over another. Justification means showing that my actions actually emanated from values that we all share.”
― Michael Tomasello, A Natural History of Human Morality

“Es hecho bien conocido en los manicomios que los enfermos de miedo son harto más peligrosos que los impulsados por la ira o el odio.”

“A questão não é que Deus vá impedir seu ingresso na eternidade se você não demonstrar certos traços de ������á�ٱ��; a questão é que, se as pessoas não possuírem pelo menos uma noção dessas qualidades dentro delas, então não haverá condições externas capazes de produzir um "Céu" para elas - isto é, não haverá condições que possam fazê-las felizes com o tipo de felicidade intensa, forte e inabalável que Deus deseja para nós.”
― C.S. Lewis, Cristianismo Puro e Simples

“Os grandes mestres da moral nunca introduzem morais novas - são os chamados charlatões que fazem isso.”
― C.S. Lewis, Cristianismo Puro e Simples

“Os seres humanos julgam uns aos outros por suas ações externas, mas Deus os julga pelas suas escolhas morais.”
― C.S. Lewis, Cristianismo Puro e Simples

“There was an old man in a village. He had an old rifle, and whenever the foreign soldiers came near, he would fire a few shots in the air. This was because the guerrilla forces expected him to snipe at the foreign soldiers. He could not bring himself to do that. So he would fire a few wild rounds at nothing in particular, and the guerrillas would hear the shots and be satisfied he was doing his part. The foreign soldiers understood. Sometimes they'd even let off a burst or two, to make things sound lively. And the old man's family slept safely at night.
"But into this there came a very young foreign soldier who didn't understand the rules of the game. So when he saw the old man fire the old rifle, he took him seriously. He killed him."
Wizard's mouth was dry. Cassie had stopped talking as suddenly as the jolt of a rear-ended vehicle. He sat silently, waiting for more, but she said nothing. After a moment she bent her head to dig through her purse, and offered him a Life Saver.
"The moral?" he asked, taking one. His voice cracked slightly.
"There isn't one." She spoke to the roll of candy she was peeling. "Except that the next week, the guy sniping at them from that hamlet wasn't shooting into the air.”
― Megan Lindholm, Wizard of the Pigeons: The 35th Anniversary Illustrated Edition

“In all, it is important to recognize the complexity and perhaps even unavoidable contradictions that reside within human morality. Its multiple sources and layers can never be applied consistently in all situations, given the messiness and unpredictability of human social life.”
― Michael Tomasello, A Natural History of Human Morality

“Disgust for things external to us thus provides the strongest possible contrast to the sacredness of things internal to our lifeways.”
― Michael Tomasello, A Natural History of Human Morality

“Human beings today thus enter into each and every social interaction with me-motives, sympathetic you-motives, egalitarian motives, group minded we-motives, and a tendency to follow whatever cultural norms are in effect.”
― Michael Tomasello, A Natural History of Human Morality

“Cultural norms do not create morality, only collectivize and objectify it, and institutions may go a step further and sacralize it.”
― Michael Tomasello, A Natural History of Human Morality

“As members of the same species, human beings broadly share notions and precepts of morality, of what is socially regarded as a proper conduct. But again, there is no reason to think that these notions and precepts should fully converge and cohere between different people and different communities, or even in the minds of the individuals themselves.”
― Azar Gat, Ideological Fixation: From the Stone Age to Today's Culture Wars

“The quest to trascend life's pains would become far more central to the religious experience as human societies expanded dramatically, beyond the small-scale kin communities of prehistory, with the advent of agriculture, the rise of state societies, and the coming of modernity.”
― Azar Gat, Ideological Fixation: From the Stone Age to Today's Culture Wars

“The cognitive aspect of ideology is rooted in the fact that knowledge and frameworks of interpretation are collective and cumulative human constructs.”
― Azar Gat, Ideological Fixation: From the Stone Age to Today's Culture Wars

“...the leftists sometimes assume that their moral beliefs about the way the world should be have a greater impact on reality than they actually do. For example, a secular leftist might oppose religion, and believe that the world would be a better place without it.”

“Si la plata era lo único que justificaba las muertes y si lo que han hecho la han hecho por plata y ahora la queman, quiere decir que no tienen moral, ni motivos, que actúan y matan gratuitamente, por el gusto del mal, por pura maldad, son asesinos de nacimiento, criminales insensibles, inhumanos [...] Pero todos comprendieron que ese acto era una declaración de guerra total, una guerra directa y en regla contra toda la sociedad.”
― Ricardo Piglia, Plata quemada

“we are all inescapably responsible, not only for our own actions, but for our lack of action, the morality and ethic of our silences and our avoidances, the shared guilt of hypocrisy, voyeurism, and cowardice; what might be called the “spectator-sport social conscience.”
― Harlan Ellison, Paingod and Other Delusions

“Mind of man shapes is moral conduct.”
― Lailah Gifty Akita

“El salvajismo potencial acecha en el interior de una criatura capaz de comer cualquier cosa. Si la naturaleza no traza una línea alrededor del apetito humano, la cultura humana debe entrar en juego, como de hecho ha ocurrido, situando los hábitos alimenticios del omnívoro bajo el gobierno de los diversos tabúes (en primer lugar el tabú contra el canibalismo), costumbres, rituales, hábitos en la mesa y convenciones culinarias que se encuentran en cada cultura. Hay una conexión corta y directa entre el dilema del omnívoro y el asombroso número de normas éticas con las que las personas han tratado de regular el acto de comer desde que viven en grupos.”

“Moral significance is as necessary as material success.”
― Lailah Gifty Akita

“The zenith of intelligent decision-making is found in doing what's right, and the highest form of wisdom is reflected in consistently choosing what's morally just”

“Ništa od toga nije posebno i novo, pak nijedna ideja, nikakva vizija ni grijeh. Živio si ranije, lovio si ranije, čak si prije svega i umro, a tok se nastavljao neometano, i nedirano raskajanošću, ni bijesom, uopće uskrata neodnosna tobom, ti si mislio da si zarobljen, a stubokom, sve vrijeme, nisi tu ni bio, kao sjena bivanja, sjeti se, gdje li se izbavljenju stremi, ne mora li biti opisana jednako i sjena, želiš li što pustiti, objasni što ispuštaš, čega li se odričeš - ocrtaj, opiši - je li memorija, laž, samo nada u laž, od čega to još
zajednički, svaki ovaj dan mi bježimo...”
― Ivan Baran, Veliki pad
