About This Quote

Too many moralists begin with a dislike of reality. These people consider reality to be a place where they don’t fit in. They have a hard time swallowing that their actions have consequences, and they prefer to ignore them. Not everyone has the same desires and wants, but while some people want to do something wrong, others want to do something right.
