About This Quote
Morality is simply the attitude we adopt towards people we personally dislike. This means that to be moral, you need to have a strong sense of right and wrong. However, not every rule that you follow is moral. In the western world, for example, it is generally accepted that one should not lie.
However, when it comes to reading a book, there is no rule against lying. In this case, morality does not apply because lying in books is never wrong. So when it comes to morality in general, you must consider all the context of a situation to determine if a particular action is moral or not.
