If the cultural element called morals takes on a new shape, we must ask what other strings have pulled it out of line.

“The longer we live the more we must endure the elementary existence of men and women; and every brave heart must treat society as a child, and never allow it to dictate.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
