Roger Crisp: Mill on Utilitarianism

Schöner Kapitelanfang:
"Probably, at least sometimes, you think that certain aspects of your life make it good for you."

Wie man schwierige Entscheidungen trifft:
"Living involves making choices (…) At six o’clock, for example, I may have to choose between an individual instance of reading Hegel and an instance of drinking gin and tonic. I might decide to consult a panel of competent judges to help me make up my mind."

Und, wo sind meine kompetenten Richter? Na? Beim Saufen natürlich.

"Be not curious in unnecessary matters: for more things are shewed unto thee than men understand." Ecclesiasticus, 3:23

"[In October 2003] In the same month the present pope, then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, told a journalist he bumped into on the street that John Paul was "in a bad way" and that the faithful should pray for him – an innocuous enough remark, but so infuriating to Archbishop Dziwisz that his rebuke reduced Cardinal Ratzinger to tears, which Archbishop Dziwisz then made public."
