• Let us enquire. Who, then, shall challenge the words? Why are they challenged. And by whom? By those who call themselves the guardians of morality, and who are the constituted guardians of religion. Enquiry, it seems, suits not them. They have drawn the line, beyond which human reason shall not pass -- above which human virtue shall not aspire! All that is without their faith or above their rule, is immorality, is atheism, is -- I know not what.

  Frances Wright

• What the members of the Church need, more than anything else, are strong testimonies of Jesus Christ and the gospel He restored. They need to know. And they need to know that they know. This is the best protection against the tsunami of temptations and the waves of immorality that crash against us. Perhaps this is just another reason why the first principle of the gospel is faith in the Lord Jesus Christ!

• ...But I don't think I'm the only person who is tired of books and movies full of paper-doll characters you don't care about, who have no self-respect and no respect for anybody or any institution....And I don't want to sound preachy or Victorian, but I'm tired of amorality in fiction and in real life. Immorality is a fascinating human dilemma that creates suspense for the readers and tension for the characters, but where is the tension in an amoral situation? When people have no personal code, nothing is threatening and nothing is meaningful.

• Random search for data on ... off-chance is hardly scientific. A questionnaire on 'Intellectual Immoralities' was circulated by a well-known institution. 'Intellectual Immorality No. 4' read: 'Generalizing beyond one's data'. [Wilder Dwight] Bancroft asked whether it would not be more correct to word question no. 4 'Not generalizing beyond one's data.

• Hoy los cristianos ... están a la cabeza [de este país] ... Prometo que nunca me uniré a los partidos que quieren destruir el cristianismo ... Queremos llenar de nuevo nuestra cultura con el espíritu cristiano ... Queremos quemar todos los recientes desarrollos inmorales en la literatura, en el teatro y en la prensa - en resumen, queremos quemar el veneno de la inmoralidad que ha entrado en toda nuestra vida y cultura como resultado del exceso liberal durante los últimos ... (pocos) años.

• The plague of pornography is swirling about us as never before. Pornography brings a vicious wake of immorality, broken homes, and broken lives. Pornography will sap spiritual strength to endure. Pornography is much like quicksand. You can become so easily trapped and overcome as soon as you step into it that you do not realize the severe danger. Most likely you will need assistance to get out of the quicksand of pornography. But how much better it is never to step into it. I plead with you to be careful and cautious.

• Todo lo que es un cuerpo vivo y no moribundo... tendrá que ser una voluntad de poder encarnada, se esforzará por crecer, extenderse, apoderarse, volverse predominante - no por ninguna moralidad o inmoralidad sino porque está viviendo y porque la vida simplemente es voluntad de poder.... La "explotación"... pertenece a la esencia de lo que vive, como función orgánica básica; es una consecuencia de la voluntad de poder, que al fin y al cabo es voluntad de vida.

• The fundamental religious objection to the theory of evolution is not scientific but moral. [Fundamentalists believe that] evolutionary theory must be opposed because it leads to rampant immorality, on both the personal and political scales. The basic cause of this immorality is atheism.

• Ahora afirmaré -hasta que me desposean- que fui la primera persona en el mundo que aplicó la máquina de escribir a la literatura. ... La primera máquina estaba llena de caprichos, llena de defectos, diabólicos. Tenía tantas inmoralidades como virtudes tiene la máquina de hoy. Después de un año o dos me di cuenta de que estaba degradando mi carácter, así que pensé en dársela a Howells. ... Se lo llevó a Boston y mi moral empezó a mejorar, pero la suya nunca se ha recuperado.

• Will African-Americans break away from the pack thinking and reject immorality-- because that's the reason the family's breaking apart--alcohol, drugs, infidelity. You have to reject that, and it doesn't seem--and I'm broadly speaking here, but a lot of African-Americans won't reject it

• Tal vez las semillas del falso refinamiento, la inmoralidad y la vanidad hayan sido derramadas por los grandes. Seres débiles y artificiales, elevados por encima de las necesidades y defectos comunes de su raza, de un modo prematuro y antinatural, socavan los cimientos mismos de la virtud y extienden la corrupción por toda la masa de la sociedad.

• ...the pretense is made, as it has been made in relation to the finding of any extension of truth, that to do away with right and wrong would produce uncivilized people, immorality, lawlessness and social chaos.
