Integrity Quote by Anonymous
““I hate the assumption of universal spiritual laxity. I hate the casual acceptance of instinctive laziness. I hate the setting of a low moral baseline. I mean, when something breaks, you do your best to fix it, right? Person, system, toy, machine: fixing things is what being human's all about. Isn't this a general principle? Isn't this what any normal person would do?””
