An active moral life cannot be evolved except where people are free to express their feelings and act upon the insights of conscience.

Don't keep all your feelings sheltered - express them. Don't EVER let life shut you up!

Poetry is the clear expression of mixed feelings.

I certainly was one of the instigators in the 1960s of freedom of expression.

Just as my body had changed at puberty, now I was developing a sense of guilt, a sense not only of how I appeared to others, but of how I appeared to myself, especially in violating self-imposed prohibitions.

The co-called moral compass is a part of the human cognition, and when that compass comes into action through human behavior, it turns an ordinary biological creature into a unique moral being of conscience.
