Morality's not practical. Morality's a gesture. A complicated gesture learnt from books.

"The nobility of England, my lord, would have snored through the Sermon on the Mount."

"When a man takes an oath, Meg, he's holding his ownself in his own hands. Like water. And if he opens his fingers then- he needn't hope to find himself again."

"The law is not a "light" for you or any man to see by; the law is not an instrument of any kind. The law is a causeway upon which so long as he keeps to it a citizen may walk safely."

It profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world. . . but for Wales!
