Quotes About Utilitarians

The American Revolution was, in fact, a battle against the philosophy of Locke and the English utilitarians.
~ Robert Trout
Utilitarians are often immensely conscientious people, who work for humanity and give up meat for the sake of the animals. They think this is what they morally ought to do and feel guilty if they do not live up to their own standard. They do not, and perhaps could not, ask: How useful is it that I think and feel like this?
~ Bernard Williams
