Quote by Malcolm Bradbury
If God had been a liberal, we wouldn't have had the Ten Commandments -- we'd have the Ten Suggestions.
Summary
This quote playfully suggests that God's decision to present the Ten Commandments instead of the Ten Suggestions reflects a conservative approach rather than a liberal one. It implies that a more liberal perspective might have offered guidelines with flexible interpretations, while the commandments set clear rules and expectations. The quote humorously alludes to the differences in political and philosophical stances, highlighting the perceived rigidity associated with conservatism, contrasting it with the flexibility often associated with liberalism.
