• De todas las tiranías, la que se ejerce sinceramente por el bien de sus víctimas puede ser la más opresiva. Sería mejor vivir bajo los barones ladrones que bajo omnipotentes entrometidos morales. La crueldad del barón ladrón puede dormir a veces, su codicia puede saciarse en algún momento; pero los que nos atormentan por nuestro propio bien nos atormentarán sin fin porque lo hacen con la aprobación de su propia conciencia.

• The anything-goes passiveness of the religious and political Left is matched by the preachy moralism of the religious and political Right. The person who uncritically embraces any party line is guilty of an idolatrous surrender of her core identity as Abba's Child. Neither liberal fairy dust nor conservative hardball addresses our ragged human dignity.

El amor a lo bello puede ser el último y mejor sacrificio para el igualitarismo radical.

• On reflection, moral judgment in the arts appears rather as a tribute to their power to influence emotion and possibly conduct. And reflecting further on what some critics do today, one sees that a good many have merely shifted the ground of their moralism, transferring their impulse of righteousness to politics and social issues.
