Wrong

Ben Okri Quote: “The worst time was 1983. Love…”

The worst time was 1983. Love and life and everything went wrong. I reached absolute rock bottom. I saw the Minotaur at the bottom of the abyss. I learnt of the harshness of the world and its impartiality to human failure.

October 25, 2021 1959, Ben Okri, March 15, Nigerian, Quotes by Poets

Matthew Stewart Quote: “It’s wrong to look at what…”

It’s wrong to look at what we call ‘Enlightenment values’ as some fad of the 18th century. It’s deeply rooted in ancient history.

October 24, 2021 1963, American, Matthew Stewart, Quotes by Philosophers

John Rawls Quote: “Certainly it is wrong to be…”

Certainly it is wrong to be cruel to animals and the destruction of a whole species can be a great evil. The capacity for feelings of pleasure and pain and for the form of life of which animals are capable clearly impose duties of compassion and humanity in their case.

October 21, 2021 1921, American, February 21, John Rawls, Quotes by Educators

Marilyn Nelson Quote: “Many performance poets seem to believe…”

Many performance poets seem to believe that yelling a poem makes it comprehensible. They are wrong.

September 29, 2021 1946, American, April 26, Marilyn Nelson, Quotes by Poets

William Penn Quote: “Right is right, even if everyone…”

Right is right, even if everyone is against it, and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it.

September 28, 2021 1644, English, October 14, Quotes by Leaders, William Penn

Dorothea Dix Quote: “Those who do wrong very often…”

Those who do wrong very often think others are censuring them, when they are not even thought of.

September 27, 2021 1802, American, April 4, Dorothea Dix, Quotes by Activists

Ingrid Newkirk Quote: “All of us in society are…”

All of us in society are supposed to believe that cruelty to animals is wrong and that it is a good thing to prevent needless suffering. So if that is true, how can meat be acceptable under any but the most extraordinary circumstances, such as perhaps roasting the bird who died flying into a window?

September 16, 2021 1949, British, Ingrid Newkirk, June 11, Quotes by Activists
