“When no idea seems right, the right one must seem wrong.”

“That fellow seems to me to possess but one idea, and that is a wrong one.”

“If you don't ask the right question, every answer seems wrong”

“The beautiful seems right
By force of Beauty, and the feeble wrong
Because of weakness.”

“Rhetoric, it seems, is a producer of persuasion for belief, not for instruction in the matter of right and wrong … And so the rhetorician's business is not to instruct a law court or a public meeting in matters of right and wrong, but only to make them believe.”

“Repressive societies always seemed to understand the danger of "wrong" ideas.”

“It doesn’t seem right? Another part of him wondered, Since when do I worry about what’s right?”

“It is nobler to declare oneself wrong than to insist on being right --especially when one is right.”

“What has happened to us? It seems as if we have perverted our freedom, our rights into license, into being irresponsible. Perhaps we did not realise just how apartheid has damaged us so that we seem to have lost our sense of right and wrong.”

“... I have excluded the idea of the Fall of Man... man has made a long climb from the status of the animal until the time when he could recognize right from wrong. That recognition, at first, was based on behavior that paid, that avoided the retribution of the tribe and the gods, and that enabled the primitive society to function. Yet, however lowly in origin—and I am referring to a period centuries before right seemed to be worth following simply because it was right, or because man’s dignity and status were sustained by doing right; centuries before right was conceived as pleasing to God because he was holy and righteous—that earliest recognition of a difference between right and wrong was an immense advance, even though wrong was chosen.”
