Max Stirner Quotes About Morality

Quotes about: Morality

• Is not all the stupid chatter of most of our newspapers the babble of fools who suffer from the fixed idea of morality, legality, christianity and so forth, and only seem to go about free because the madhouse in which they walk takes in so broad a space?

  Max Stirner

  Stupid, Ideas, Space

  Max Stirner (1995). “Stirner: The Ego and its Own”, p.43, Cambridge University Press

• The web of hypocrisy of today hangs on the frontiers of two domains, between which our time swings back and forth, attaching its fine threads of deception and self-deception.

  Max Stirner

  Stupid, Swings, Self

  Max Stirner, David Leopold (1995). “Stirner: The Ego and Its Own”, p.51, Cambridge University Press

• Feuerbach ... recognizes ... "even love, in itself the truest, most inward sentiment, becomes an obscure, illusory one through religiousness, since religious love loves man only for God's sake, therefore loves man only apparently, but in truth God only." Is this different with moral love? Does it love the man, this man for this man's sake, or for morality's sake, for Man's sake, and so-for homo homini Deus-for God's sake?

  Max Stirner

  Religious, Men, Sake
