Thou shalt not commit adultery. No one ever considers that there's more than one type.
We don't get married because we love somebody. We get married because we want that person's love, and don't want anyone else to have it.
Guilt is a scary thing. That's why people do extraordinary things to hide their guilt.
People don't lie to save other people's feelings. They lie because they want to save their own.
People get the angriest in an argument when they know that their opponent has said something irrefutably true.
If comparing yourself to other people wasn't important, you wouldn't do it.
Justifying your actions doesn't always mean they were the wrong actions, it just means that the situation was morally muddy, and justification is a means of deciding if blurring the lines was worth it in the end.
The idea that ignorance is bliss is a lie. We say that to make ourselves feel better about all the uneducated people who are starving, disease ridden, and dying in the world.
The people who see that there is more bad than good in the world aren't cynics, they're realists.
The human race hasn't changed, or history wouldn't repeat itself.
People condemn the actions of others in the past, such as adultery and rape, and say that people are much better now, because they want to delude themselves into thinking that it is nowhere near as prevalent today.
All men were not created equal.
