Absolutes Quotes

I am not sure whether ethical absolutes exist. But I am sure that we have to act as if they existed or civilization perishes Picture Quote #1

But I think it is a serious issue to wonder about the other platonic absolutes of say beauty and morality Picture Quote #1

A novel is not moral in the usual sense of the word. It can be called moral when it shakes us out of our stupor and makes us confront the absolutes we believe in Picture Quote #1

The problem is that it has become politically awkward to draw attention to absolutes of bad and good. In place of manners, we now have doctrines of political correctness, against which one offends at one’s peril: by means of a considerable circular logic, such offences mark you as reactionary and therefore a bad person.

Meaning can only be understood in relation to its environment. Therefore, the words only make full sense in context... There are no absolutes, there is no meaning without relationships, everything is not only interacting but interdependent. The kahunas use this idea to help give a person a powerfully secure sense of significance, while at the same time teaching him that to heal himself is to heal the world, and to heal the world is to heal himself. This is not a loss of individuality, but an understanding that individuality itself is a relationship with the environment Picture Quote #1

There are no absolutes in relationships. You can’t take anything for granted. You can count on absolutely nothing but the unexpected. You only get in trouble when you start thinking that you’re some kind of exception to the rule Picture Quote #1

Questions of absolute good and evil are much better not opened to public debate these days, when so few people are sure of their absolutes Picture Quote #1

One of the great weaknesses of standard libertarian theory is that it tends to push too hard by elevating presumptions into absolutes Picture Quote #1

The man who sees absolutes, where all other men see nuances and shades of meaning, is either a prophet, or a quack Picture Quote #1

I would rather have strong enemies than a world of passive individualists. In a world of passive individualists nothing seems worth anything simply because nobody stands for anything. That world has no convictions, no victories, no unions, no heroism, no absolutes, no heartbeat. That world has rigor mortis Picture Quote #1

Children are the boldest philosophers. They enter life naked, not covered by the smallest fig leaf of dogma, absolutes, creeds. This is why every question they ask is so absurdly naïve and so frighteningly complex Picture Quote #1

People who think in absolutes usually don’t listen to anyone but themselves. They resist new ideas and try to preserve the status quo Picture Quote #1

We have made an extraordinary transition. From moral absolutes to moral relativism.... Moral problems become medical ones and yesterday’s sinners become today’s patients Picture Quote #1

There is no pleasing New Englanders, my dear, their soil is all rocks and their hearts are bloodless absolutes Picture Quote #1
