Joseph Conrad, Polish Novelist (1857-1924)

James F. Cooper, American Novelist (1789-  )
The higher the building the lower the morals.

I play a nice crazy lady whose morals are right but who is really foundering.

Every fact is related on one side to sensation, and, on the other, to morals. The game of thought is, on the appearance of one of these two sides, to find the other: given the upper, to find the under side.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
Sometimes his methods are questionable, and even his morals are questionable, but his intention is always to protect Sydney. So in that way I think he's a good parent.
Victor Garber, Canadian Actor (1949-  )
Sometimes, his methods and his motives are questionable and even his morals are questionable in the way he does things. But I think his intention is always to protect his daughter.
Victor Garber, Canadian Actor (1949-  )
Books follow morals, and not morals books.
Theophile Gautier, French Poet (1811-1872)
