Famous quotes containing the words code of, code, ethics, health and/or information:

    “...I had grown up in a world that was dominated by immature age. Not by vigorous immaturity, but by immaturity that was old and tired and prudent, that loved ritual and rubric, and was utterly wanting in curiosity about the new and the strange. Its era has passed away, and the world it made has crumbled around us. Its finest creation, a code of manners, has been ridiculed and discarded.”
    —Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)

    “Faultless honesty is a sine qua non of business life. Not alone the honesty according to the moral code and the Bible. When I speak of honesty I refer to the small, hidden, evasive meannesses of our natures. I speak of the honesty of ourselves to ourselves.”
    —Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)

    “The vanity of the sciences. Physical science will not console me for the ignorance of morality in the time of affliction. But the science of ethics will always console me for the ignorance of the physical sciences.”
    —Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    “Woman ... cannot be content with health and agility: she must make exorbitant efforts to appear something that never could exist without a diligent perversion of nature. Is it too much to ask that women be spared the daily struggle for superhuman beauty in order to offer it to the caresses of a subhumanly ugly mate?”
    —Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

    “English literature is a kind of training in social ethics.... English trains you to handle a body of information in a way that is conducive to action.”
    —Marilyn Butler (b. 1937)
