I'm pretty conservative when it comes to money. My parents were very working class and constantly working. There was always a very strong work ethic and that's put a more conservative, "save for a rainy day" mentality into me.
To reform society, and with it humanity, there is only one mean; to transform the mentality of men, to direct them ("les orienter", Fr.) in a new spirit.
 African Spir
Random, meaningless groups can adopt an us-versus-them mentality.

 Nicolas Winding Refn

Quotes from the same author

Actually, I defend the right to free abortion.
 Torbjorn Tannsjo
People in different cultures think very differently about abortion. Abortion is not seen as a moral problem for example in Sweden or Russia, but it is seen as a difficult moral problem in China and in the USA.

It is true (independently of our conceptualisation) that it is wrong to inflict pain on a sentient creature for no reason (she doesn't deserve it, I haven't promised to do it, it is not helpful to this creature or to anyone else if I do it, and so forth). But if this is a truth, existing independently of our conceptualisation, then at least one moral fact (this one) exists and moral realism is true. We have to accept this, I submit, unless we can find strong reasons to think otherwise.
 Torbjorn Tannsjo
There are some particular moral truths that I believe we have access to (such as the one not to inflict pain on a sentient being for no reason).
 Torbjorn Tannsjo
The kind of values for which I was supposed to kill, such as democracy and national independence, were better served, I thought, through non-violent action.
