“Just because I do not accept the teachings of the devotaries does not mean I've discarded a belief in right and wrong."
"But the Almighty determines what is right!"
"Must someone, some unseen thing, declare what is right for it to be right? I believe that my own morality -- which answers only to my heart -- is more sure and true than the morality of those who do right only because they fear retribution.”
― Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings

“Do not be deceived: bad company corrupts good morals.”
― Anonymous, The Holy Bible: King James Version

“If no set of moral ideas were truer or better than any other, there would be no sense in preferring civilised morality to savage morality.”
― C.S. Lewis

“Survival," I said softly. "It's selfish, and it's dark, and we've always been a species willing to do anything to satisfy our needs. Individuals have morals. Mobs have appetites.”
