You don't need to make your heart and your head agree. Let your head make the decision, your heart will catch up eventually.

Because it's possible to do, and you have the right to do it, doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.

My best way of making someone admit to something's wrongness is to have them imagine that thing done to them. Suddenly then it all becomes clear.

My life is what a salmon must feel like. They are always going upstream, against the current.

The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self-respect, dignity, integrity, and self-esteem.

It takes courage to have a conscience when you seem to see others getting something tangible out of not bothering to struggle with the morality of a situation. It gets frustrating and demoralizing. This is precisely where character comes in. All throughout history special people have felt compelled to do what they objectively saw as right and good - even in the face of humiliation or rejection or expulsion or torture or death. That is because they believed that certain ideas were more important than individual well-being.

There is little reason left for society to respect women as it once did. Women get knocked up. They don't marry. They have abortions. They go to bars. They get knocked up again.
