Quote #10
Until the great mobs could be educated into a moral sense some one must cry: "Thou shalt not!" (2.5.241)
Amory wishes that the world were capable of thinking for itself. But unfortunately, people are still too immoral at heart to self-govern. In Amory's mind, this is why people still need religion and laws. They need some higher power to tell them what to do because they won't act morally on their own.
