Famous quotes containing the word immoral:
“One of the great triumphs of the nineteenth century was to limit the connotation of the word “immoral” in such a way that, for practical purposes, only those were immoral who drank too much or made too copious love. Those who indulged in any or all of the other deadly sins could look down in righteous indignation on the lascivious and the gluttonous.... In the name of all lechers and boozers I most solemnly protest against the invidious distinction made to our prejudice.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“I claim to be a conscientiously immoral writer.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“The perfect pleasure: money is neither fattening nor immoral nor illegal.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
