Moral Quotes
-

When a legislature decides to steal some of our rights and plans to use police force to accomplish it, what's the real difference between them and the thief? Darn little!

Numerical might does not constitute right, no more than a lynch mob can justify its act because a majority participated.
H. L. Richardson

Paul Keating

I find that most people know what a story is until they sit down to write one. Then they find themselves writing a sketch with an essay woven through it, or an essay with a sketch woven through it, or an editorial with a character in it, or a case history with a moral, or some other mongrel thing.
Flannery O'Connor
