“I have values. But morals are Christian. There's no religion here. Values. Don't hurt when you don't need to, but don't let anybody step over that line - it's an invisible line, but it's respect for somebody's space.” NeedsChristianValuesHurtLinesSpaceMoralStepsInvisible Author:John Lydon
“There is no hope for the world unless and until we formulate, accept and state publicly a true moral code of individualism, based on man's inalienable right to live for himself. Neither to hurt nor to serve his brothers, but to be independent of them in his function and in his motive. Neither to sacrifice them for himself nor to sacrifice himself for them.” MenWorldStatesHurtAcceptingMoralSacrificeBrotherFunctionIndependentIndividualityCodeMotiveIndividualismNo HopeMoral Code Book:Letters of Ayn Rand Source: Letters of Ayn Rand
“Forgiving presupposes remembering. And it creates a forgetting not in the natural way we forget yesterday's weather, but in the way of the great "in spite of" that says: I forget although I remember. Without this kind of forgetting no human relationship can endure healthily. I don't refer to a solemn act of asking for and offering forgiveness. Such rituals as sometimes occur between parents and children, or friends, or man and wife, are often acts of moral arrogance on the one part and enforced humiliation on the other. But I speak of the lasting willingness to accept him who has hurt us.” MenWayHumansKindChildrenSometimesRememberSpeakParentNaturalHurtForgetAcceptingMoralWifeForgivenessAskingForgivingEndureYesterdayWeatherArroganceSpiteLastingWillingnessRitualOfferingHumiliationSolemnHuman RelationsHuman RelationshipsChildren And Parents Author:Paul Tillich

“If you start looking at movies on a moral level - "I don't like that, that hurts, that's mean, that's bad" - then I don't even want to talk to you. Or like, someone that says "I don't like science-fiction movies," or "I don't want to sit through a Western," or "I don't like violence in movies," then I completely tune out.” IfsWantMeanHurtLevelsFictionMoralViolenceScience FictionWesternTunesScience Fiction MovieViolence In Movies Author:Bret Easton Ellis

“Robert Nozick [a Havard philosopher, famous for his book "Anarchy, State and Utopia"] defined revenge as delivering the message that you know what someone has done, and it doesn't involve hurting them or doing anything to them beyond that. It's just delivering the message that their crime has been noted not just by its victims, because the victim might be dead, but by another who has a different moral view and will challenge the perpetrator's view.” KnowsHas BeensBookDifferentStatesDoneMightChallengesHurtViewsMoralCrimeMessagesVictimPhilosopherRevengeDefinedAnarchyUtopiaDeliveringPerpetrators Author:Errol Morris
“I would you say 25-50 percent is the likelihood that my cause of death will be suicide. Not because I am depressive but because I don't attach any moral baggage to suicide, and I have no religion to hold me back. I think suicide is our right, though I think we need to exercise it with knowledge that it can hurt others. So my assumption is that if I got a fatal disease, I'd end things before I got really sick.” ThinkingHurtMoralExerciseSickSuicideAssumptionHold MeDepressive Author:Gene Weingarten
