"Marriage is a wonderful institution, but who would want to live in an institution?" "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard." "All men are frauds. The only difference between them is that some admit it. I myself deny it." "The world always makes the assumption that the exposure of an error is identical with the discovery of truth--that the error and truth are simply opposite. They are nothing of the sort. What the world turns to, when it is cured on one error, is usually simply another error, and maybe one worse than the first one." Top 5 quotes from Morality "Arbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness." "If we do not help a man in trouble, it is as if we caused the trouble." "Morality, like numinous awe, is a jump; in it, man goes beyond anything that can be 'given' in the facts of experience." "I never believed there was one code of morality for a public and another for a private man." "The fool who has not sense to discriminate between what is good and what is bad is well nigh as dangerous as the man who does discriminate and yet chooses the bad."
