'There lurches past, his great eyes without thought
Under the shadow of stupid straw-pale locks
That insolent fiend…'

Virtue is more to be feared than vice, because its excesses are not subject to the regulation of conscience

In an anti-intellectual society, people who know nothing about a complex subject are emboldened to ridicule experts who have spent a lifetime studying it.

“What the mysterious is I do not know. I do not call it God because God has come to mean much that I do not believe in. I find myself incapable of thinking of a deity or of any unknown supreme power in anthropomorphic terms, and the fact that many people think so is continually a source of surprise to me. Any idea of a personal God seems very odd to me.”
― Jawaharlal Nehru

One of the great attractions of patriotism - it fulfils our worst wishes. In the person of our nation we are able, vicariously, to bully and cheat. Bully and cheat, what's more, with a feeling that we are profoundly virtuous.

“When wealth is passed off as merit, bad luck is seen as bad character. This is how ideologues justify punishing the sick and the poor. But poverty is neither a crime nor a character flaw. Stigmatise those who let people die, not those who struggle to live.”

I liked this one from George Takei ('Sulu' in the original Star Trek) on William Shatner's recent 10 minute jaunt into (or not) 'space';

"He’s boldly going where other people have gone before."
