  7. Flanagan (1991, p. 332) • …that the revival of character ethics, if it is truly to enrich more actional approaches and not merely serve as a rhetorical counterextreme, had better not make the mistake of ignoring the vast array of moral personalities, of failing to see that both good character and good action are realized in multiple ways, and of thinking of traits of character as more solid, unequivocal, and decontextualized than they are.

  9. Tony Adams: “I did not know I was an alcoholic in development, nor what price of such an intense way of life was going to be”

  10. This dichotomy, according to Martin (2006, p. 6) prevents us from understanding how, Paul Gascoigne’s behaviour for example can be both “irresponsible and sick, how destructive addictions are both wrongdoing and pathology, how medication and discipline might both be appropriate for a hyperactive child...”

  11. “The DSM (American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) defines mental disorders as patterns of overt behaviour and states involving unacceptable distress, disability, and increased danger. More fully, a mental disorder is any “behaviour or psychological syndrome or pattern that occurs in an individual and that is associated with present distress (e.g., a painful symptom) or disability (i.e., impairment in one or more important areas of functioning) or with significantly increased risk of suffering death, pain, disability, or an important loss of freedom.” (Martin 2006, p. 20)

  12. "I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered."
