I believe that all those to whom I have referred, even those with whom I disagree most strongly, have contributed significantly to our understanding of ethics: where I have quoted their actual words, it is because they have presented views or arguments more clearly or more forcefully than I could put them myself.
Ma usun, et kõik need, kellele ma olen viidanud, isegi need, kellega ma olen väga tugevalt eriarvamusel, on andnud olulise panuse meie arusaamisse eetikast: seal, kus ma olen nende tegelikke sõnu tsiteerinud, on asi selles, et nad on esitanud oma vaateid selgemalt või jõulisemalt, kui ma ise oleksin osanud."
