• We tell ourselves stories in order to live...We look for the sermon in the suicide, for the social or moral lesson in the murder of five. We interpret what we see, select the most workable of the multiple choices. We live entirely, especially if we are writers, by the imposition of a narrative line upon disparate images, by the "ideas" with which we have learned to freeze the shifting phantasmagoria which is our actual experience.

• ¿Sabes por qué creo que seguimos ejecutando a la gente? Porque, aunque no queramos decirlo en voz alta, para los crímenes realmente atroces, queremos saber que existe un castigo realmente atroz. Así de sencillo. Queremos unir más a la sociedad -acurrucarnos y rodear nuestros vagones- y eso significa deshacernos de las personas que consideramos incapaces de aprender una lección moral. Supongo que la pregunta es: ¿Quién identifica a esas personas? ¿Y si, Dios no lo quiera, se equivocan?

• Theologians will protest that the story of Abraham sacrificing Issac should not be taken as literal fact. And the appropriate response is twofold: first, many, many people even to this day, do take the whole of their Scripture to be literal fact, and they have a great deal of political power over the rest of us, especially in the United States and in the Islamic world. Second, if not of literal fact, how should we take the story? As an alagory? Then an alagory for what? Surely, nothing praiseworthy. As a moral lesson? But what kind of morals could one derive from this appalling story?

• Los mitólogos sabemos muy bien que los mitos y las leyendas contienen préstamos, lecciones morales, ciclos de la naturaleza y cientos de otras influencias distorsionadoras, y trabajamos para eliminarlas y llegar a lo que podría ser un núcleo de verdad. De hecho, estas mismas técnicas deben aplicarse a las historias más sobrias, ya que nadie escribe la verdad clara y aparente, si es que puede decirse que tal cosa existe.

• We have a dangerous trend beginning to take place in our education. We're starting to put more and more textbooks into our schools. We've become accustomed of late of putting little books into the hands of children, containing fables and moral lessons. We're spending less time in the classroom on the Bible, which should be the principal text in our schools. The Bible states these great moral lessons better than any other man-made book.

• During the rest of my screen career, I am going to continue doing vampires as long as people sin. For I believe that humanity needs the moral lesson and it needs it in repeatedly larger doses.

• There are those who believe that the value of a children's book can be measured only in terms of the moral lessons it tries to impose or the perfect role models it offers. Personally, I happen to think that a book is of extraordinary value if it gives the reader nothing more than a smile or two. In fact, I happen to think that's huge.

• Prophet just means intellectual. They were people giving geopolitical analysis, moral lessons, that sort of thing. We call them intellectuals today. There were the people we honor as prophets, there were the people we condemn as false prophets. But if you look at the biblical record, at the time, it was the other way around. The flatterers of the Court of King Ahab were the ones who were honored. The ones we call prophets were driven into the desert and imprisoned.

• Nothing could be more absurd than moral lessons at such a moment! Oh, self-satisfied people: with what proud self-satisfaction such babblers are ready to utter their pronouncements! If they only knew to what degree I myself understand all the loathsomeness of my present condition, they wouldn't have the heart to teach me.

• For me, most comedy scripts fail in the mechanical playing-out of the setup. They'll pay lip service to a moral lesson or a psychological progression.
