Here are some quotes from the book "A Clockwork Orange" by Anthony Burgess:
- “If he can only perform good or only perform evil, then he is a clockwork orange—meaning that he has the appearance of an organism lovely with colour and juice but is in fact only a clockwork toy to be wound up by God or the Devil.”
- “It is as inhuman to be totally good as it is to be totally evil.”
- “A man who cannot choose ceases to be a man.”
- “Goodness is something chosen. When a man cannot choose he ceases to be a man.”
- “The important thing is moral choice. Evil has to exist along with good, in order that moral choice may operate.”
I hope this helps! Let me know if you need anything else.
