Quote

Men are more accountable for their motives, than for anything else; and primarily, morality consists in the motives, that is in the affections.

However great an evil immorality may be, we must not forget that it is not without its beneficial consequences. It is only through extremes that men can arrive at the middle path of wisdom and virtue.

Many a man renounces morals, but with great difficulty the conception, 'morality.' Morality is the 'idea' of morals, their intellectual power, their power over the conscience; on the other hand, morals are too material to rule the mind, and do not fetter an 'intellectual' man, a so-called independent, a 'freethinker.'

Immorality: the morality of those who are having a better time.

I know only that what is moral is what you feel good after and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.

Men make the moral code and they expect women to accept it. They have decided that it is entirely right and proper for men to fight for their liberties and their rights, but that it is not right and proper for women to fight for theirs.

It is worse than immoral, it's a mistake.

The only immorality is not to do what one has to do when one has to do it.

Men never get free from morality, only women.

Rigour is to the mathematician what morality is to men.
