Of two duties we must choose the greater, though of two sins we must choose neither (556).

. . . is it better to throw yourself head first and laughing into the holy rage calling your name?

There is a sacred duty, which you are divinely gifted to performed.

The highest duty of the writer is to remain true to himself and let the chips fall where they may. In serving his vision of the truth the artist best serves his nation.

[I]t is the writer's duty to write fiction which promotes virtue, the good, the beautiful, and above all, the true. ... It is the writer's duty to hate injustice, to defy the powerful, and to speak for the voiceless. To be ... the severest critics of our own societies.

Do notforget duty. But choose love when you can.

I didn't grasp that desire and duty could rival each other, least of all that they most often did.

In Kant__ description, ethical duty functions like a foreign traumatic intruder that from the outside disturbs the subject__ homeostatic balance, its unbearable pressure forcing the subject to act __eyond the pleasure principle,_ ignoring the pursuit of pleasures. For Lacan, exactly the same description holds for desire, which is why enjoyment is not something that comes naturally to the subject, as a realization of her inner potential, but is the content of a traumatic superego injunction.

We can know what we do wrong even before we do it, but self-knowledge can't affect or change the outcome, can it? Everyone singing his own little song, convinced it's the most wonderful song the world has ever heard. Don't you see? We create our own thorns, and never stop to count the cost. All we can do is suffer the pain, and tell ourselves it was well worth it.

We are humanity, Kant says. Humanity needs us because we are it. Kant believes in duty and considers remaining alive a primary human duty. For him one is not permitted to __enounce his personality,_ and while he states living as a duty, it also conveys a kind of freedom: we are not burdened with the obligation of judging whether our personality is worth maintaining, whether our life is worth living. Because living it is a duty, we are performing a good moral act just by persevering.

It is a noble responsibility to not back down when you know that you know that you know that you are right.

Man's inhumanity to man will continue as long as man loves God more than he loves his fellow man. The love of God means wasted love. 'For God and Country' means a divided allegiance__ 50 per cent patriot.The most abused word in the language of man is the word 'God.' The reason for this is that it is subject to so much abuse. There is no other word in the human language that is as meaningless and incapable of explanation as is the word 'God.' It is the beginning and end of nothing. It is the Alpha and Omega of Ignorance.It has as many meanings as there are minds. And as each person has an opinion of what the word God ought to mean, it is a word without premise, without foundation, and without substance. It is without validity. It is all things to all people, and is as meaningless as it is indefinable. It is the most dangerous in the hands of the unscrupulous, and is the joker that trumps the ace. It is the poisoned word that has paralyzed the brain of man.'The fear of the Lord' is not the beginning of wisdom; on the contrary, it has made man a groveling slave; it has made raving lunatics of those who have attempted to interpret what God 'is' and what is supposed to be our 'duty' to God. It has made man prostitute the most precious things of life__t has made him sacrifice wife, and child, and home.'In the name of God' means in the name of nothing__t has caused man to be a wastrel with the precious elixir of life, because there is no God.

The voice of love calls to you, my son.

We have forfeited our calling for the simple reason that we__e ignored the God who says that the __ossible_ is never bound by the __robable,_ and instead we__e dutifully heeded the god of fear that incessantly says the __ossible_ is anything but __robable.
