“[T]he demands of morality pervade every aspect and moment of our lives – and we all fail to meet its standards. [F]ew of us believe the claim, and [n]one of us live in accordance with it. It strikes us as outrageously extreme in its demands[.] The claim is deeply counterintuitive. But it is true.”

— Shelly Kagan, The Limits of Morality, (1989), p. 2
