J.D. Stroube
“There are people in the world, who are just wrong, and then there are the masses of population that are right, or at the very least they lie in the veil of between. I on the other hand, do not belong to any group. I don’t exist. It’s not that I don’t have substance; I have a body like everyone else. I can feel the fire when it burns against my skin, the rain when it caresses my face and the breeze as it fingers my hair. I have all the senses that other people do. I am just empty, inside.”
J.D. Stroube, Caged in Darkness

Phillip C. McGraw
“Sometimes you make the right decision, sometimes you make the decision right.”
Phillip C. McGraw

Patricia Highsmith
“And she did not have to ask if this was right, no one had to tell her, because this could not have been more right or perfect.”
Patricia Highsmith, The Price of Salt

“The world is full of men who want to be right, when actually the secret of a man's strength and his pathway to true honor is his ability to admit fault when he has failed. God wants to fill the church with men who can say they are wrong when THEY ARE WRONG. A man who is willing to humble himself before God and his family and say:"I was wrong." will find that his family has all the confidence in the world in him and will much more readily follow him. If he stubbornly refuses to repent or admit he was wrong, their confidence in him and in his leadership erodes.”
Jim Anderson, Unmasked: Exposing the Cultural Sexual Assualt

“Even if toxic people are right about what is "good," they are wrong if the approach is not healthy.”

“If I am right, Thy grace impart
Still in the right to stay;
If I am wrong, O, teach my heart
To find that better way!”
Alexander Pope, Moral Essays

Zaman Ali
“To know and have it all is about individuality because each one has the right not to live under the mercy of anyone with more power. So, for freedom and protection, one desires to know and have it all, but the questions remain.”
Zaman Ali, EVIDENCE To Know and Have It All?

Aldo Leopold
“Examine each question in terms of what is ethically and aesthetically right, as well as what is economically expedient. A thing is right when it tends to perserve the integrity, stability, and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong when it tends otherwise.”
Aldo Leopold

Tallulah Bankhead
“I'd rather be strongly wrong than weakly right.”
Tallulah Bankhead

“There's a hard life for every silver spoon.
There's a touch of gray for every shade of blue.
That's the way I see life.
If there was nothing wrong...
Then there'd be nothing right.”
Shinedown, Shinedown - The Sound of Madness

Holly Black
“You said that you thought Queen Orlagh was waiting for an advantage to declare war. Instead, I think she is trying a new ruler—one she hopes she can trick or replace with another indebted to her. She thinks me young and feckless and means to take my measure.â€�

“So what?� I ask. “Our choice is to endure her games, no matter how deadly, or engage in a war we cannot win?�

Cardan shakes his head and drinks another cup of tea. “We show her that I am no feckless High King.�

“And how do we do that?� I ask.

“With great difficulty,â€� he says. “Since I fear she is right.”
Holly Black, The Wicked King

Stefan Zweig
“A lame creature, a cripple like myself, has no right to love. How should I, broken, shattered being that I am, be anything but a burden to you, when to myself I am an object of disgust, of loathing. A creature such as I, I know, has no right to love, and certainly no right to be loved. It is for such a creature to creep away into a corner and die and cease to make other people's lives a burden with her presence.”
Stefan Zweig , Beware of Pity

Jodi Picoult
“Sometimes knowing what's right isn't a rational decision, or even what works on paper. Sometimes leaving is the best course of action after all.”
Jodi Picoult, Vanishing Acts

Émile Zola
“Oh, the fools, like a lot of good little schoolboys, scared to death of anything they've been taught is wrong!”

Jane Austen, Persuasion

Caragh M. O'Brien
“When you decide something's right, there's nothing that can stop you from doing it.”
Caragh M. O'Brien, Birthmarked

Mary Balogh
“Occasionally we all do wrong things from right motives. Only time can prove us right or wrong. The past is the past. Nothing can change it now, and who is to say that it was all wrong, anyway?”
Mary Balogh, The Devil's Web

Ray Bradbury
“And a lot of it will be wrong, but just enough of it will be right.”
Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

Jay Woodman
“ART

The world is full of confusion and contradiction. We cannot expect to do anything that is absolutely right. We can only measure rightness by the truth within ourselves. And our own truth will never be quite the same as somebody else's. I wish that I could touch you and be sure that it was the right thing to do. I only want to touch you briefly. Just once so that you will know. We are flesh and blood and full of faults. But we are also full of warmth. The world is full of confusion but there is compassion in its midst. communication via simple touch can transmit so much of us in just one minute. Like a painting or a piece of music. I want to touch your soul. I only wish I could be sure it was the right thing to do.”
Jay Woodman, SPAN

Toni Morrison
“What's fair ain't necessarily right.”
Toni Morrison, Beloved

Stacey Jay
“But maybe that isn't possible. Maybe the mind of the majority is always the healthy mind, simply by virtue of its numbers. Maybe it's the definition of madness to believe I'm right and everyone else if wrong, to find my thoughts rational and reasonable when almost the entire world finds them damaged and flawed.”
Stacey Jay, Of Beast and Beauty

Michael David Lukas
“She hadn't lied. She hadn't betrayed anyone's trust; still, she felt she had done something wrong. Or rather, she had not yet done the right thing. Was there a difference between these two sins?”
Michael David Lukas, The Oracle of Stamboul

Criss Jami
“It turns out that indecision is a path itself; but figuratively, a vertical path - up or down - meaning it isn't always a fruitless path. One is forgotten, but the other is glorified. To be what they call 'middle-of-the-road' in most cases just means you have a hard time figuring out who between options is dumber. So quite often those who refused to decide were, after all, the bold individuals, the influential ones, the creative ones, those who snatched their own authority.”
Criss Jami, Killosophy

Maya Angelou
“The devil lives in our mistakes, the lord lives in our rights. Who lives in our ignorance, and who wins after all?”
Maya Angelou Kwabena kodom Nicholas Sparks Rosa Parks

Denis Johnson
“When I reached the street I didn't know whether to go right or left. Soon I'd have to start acting like a person who cared about what happened to him.”
Denis Johnson, The Name of the World

Thomas Paine
“Immediate necessity makes many things convenient, which if continued would grow into oppressions. Expedience and right are different things.”
Thomas Paine, Common Sense

Emily Henry
“How are you supposed to believe right’s right and wrong’s wrong if everyone around you says the opposite?”
Emily Henry, Beach Read

Douglas Adams
“The great thing about being the only species that makes a distinction between right and wrong is that we can make up the rules for ourselves as we go along.”
Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See

“Stop doing what is easy. Start doing what is right.”
