The true artist doesn't substitute immorality for morality. On the contrary, he always substitutes a finer morality for a grosser one.

What is morality in any given time or place? It is what the majority then and there happen to like, and immorality is what they dislike.

Chaperons don't enforce morality; they force immorality to be discreet.

If there is an invisible church, then it is of the great paradox, which is inseparable from morality, and which must be distinguished from the merely philosophical. People who are so eccentric that they are completely serious in being and becoming virtuous understand one another in everything, find one another easily, and form a silent opposition against the prevailing immorality that pretends to be morality. A certain mysticism of expression, which joined with romantic fantasy and grammatical understanding, can be something charming and good, often serves as a symbol of their beautiful secrets.

Chaperons, even in their days of glory, were almost never able to enforce morality; what they did was to force immorality to be discreet. This is no small contribution.

To be ashamed of one's immorality: that is a step on the staircase at whose end one is also ashamed of one's morality.

Has Our Country Changed?
In these United States hundreds of years ago,
when our forefathers began to paint a canvas
of the love of God, of honesty, helping thy
neighbor, morality and family unity. We stand
before that canvas now and we see vast
alterations.
Many among us have replaced
honesty with greed, morality with
immorality, helping thy neighbor, with indifference
and family unity with legions of gypsies to roam
the earth without roots, without purpose, without
a love of country and fellow man...without
a love of God.
Take great care that you do not follow the legions
of lost people; for in their improprieties and in
their rejection of the God within them, they have
forsaken not only Him but themselves.
Amoral...
Beyond morality and besides
immorality, lies the gray area of
amorality...
it is an exploration of the possibilities
of our humanity
where we are like innocent children
without any bias for
anything that we think is new
and feasible....
something that must perfect
the art of sharing
complete the fruiting of the works
of love....
not just about things, or events
a book, a dinner at the mountaintop,
a conversation at the ridge,
a time in bed, or even the sharing of
some dreams
those that do not bother us after
that which makes us comfortable despite its strangeness
the one that they call wild
and impossible
but which they have not tried themselves
as the restraint was only existing in their minds
with the heart
still thirsty and hungry and
vehemently disagreeing.

It is probably safe to say that over a long period of time, political morality has been as high as business morality.

Commerce is against morality. Morality is going to lose every time.
For children to take morality seriously they must be in the presence of adults who take morality seriously. And with their own eyes they must see adults take morality seriously.

Morality Make Beauty
Would the things you do
Make you beautiful
Probably
Surely we have two sides in everything
The two sides of beauty
You and you
Inside and outside
Ever and never
Inexhaustible and exhaustible
Let just start right here
Cosmetics made me looked beautiful
But I wander
How long would this last
When it is never hidden from the
Solemn standing sun
The sun shall shine
And tomorrow the sun shall dry this beauty away
Some call it old age
Why won't this beauty last?
Some also say old age annihilates beauty
Hey!
How long would you remain a secret to the majority?
You contemptuously say to cosmetic
Beauty maker
Is that what they call you?
Oh mercy you despicable
Morality makes you beautiful you
Morality makes you beautiful inside
Morality makes you beautiful for ever
Morality makes you your world beautiful
Your inside matters
The sun don't dry it up c
It hidden from the solemn standing sun
Morality overcomes the sun's annihilation
Let morality make you up
Behold drifting away shall your beauty not be
Forever shall it bloom as the sun shines

There is no morality in war. Morality is the privilege of those judging from the distance. War is only death and destruction.
I think most of the art now is involved with a denial of any kind of absolute morality, or general morality.
