Summary

This quote suggests that morality is not determined by universal principles, but rather by the expectations and standards within a specific community. It implies that one's character and behavior should align with what is deemed virtuous by the society in which they exist. The quote also implies that morality is a reflection of the level of goodness expected and demanded by good individuals within that particular community. Thus, the idea of morality is presented as relative and shaped by one's surroundings and the prevailing moral norms within their social circle.

Of all the officers of the Government, those of the Department of Justice should be kept most free from any suspicion of improper action on partisan or factional grounds, so that there shall be gradually a growth, even though a slow growth, in the knowledge that the Federal courts and the representatives of the Federal Department of Justice insist on meting out even-handed justice to all.

The New Women! I could barely recognize them as being of the same sex as myself, their buttocks arrogant in tight jeans, openly inviting, breasts falling free and shameless and feeling no apparent obligation to smile, look pleasant or keep their voices low. And how they live! Just look at them to know how! If a man doesn't bring them to orgasm, they look for another who does. If by mistake they fall pregnant, they abort by vacuum aspiration. If they don't like the food, they push the plate away. If the job doesn't suit them, they hand in their notice. They are satiated by everything, hungry for nothing. They are what I wanted to be; they are what I worked for them to be: and now I see them, I hate them.
