Conventional Morality

Famous quotes containing the words conventional and/or morality:

    If the Nazis have really been guilty of the unspeakable crimes circumstantially imputed to them, then—let us make no mistake—pacifism is faced with a situation with which it cannot cope. The conventional pacifist conception of a reasonable or generous peace is irrelevant to this reality.
    John Middleton Murry (1889–1957)

    The true artist doesn’t substitute immorality for morality. On the contrary, he always substitutes a finer morality for a grosser one.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
