Quote from Chidi in The Eternal Shriek
[flashback:] Chidi: Why? Why would I tell Henry that I liked his boots? I don't like his boots. I hate his boots. Allesandra: Yes, I know. You've talked about it for the last two days. Chidi: I lied to him. You wrote your thesis on Kant. He believed that lying is always morally wrong... no exceptions. Allesandra: Yes, well, Kant was a lonely, obsessive hermit with zero friends. Sometimes we do thing just to be polite, but if you really feel that strongly about it, tell him the truth. Also, I don't care, 'cause it's the middle of the night. This is why everyone hates moral philosophy professors. Chidi: They do?
