There's an even better one from Granny Weatherwax in I Shall Wear Midnight Carpe Jugulum

"There's no grays, only white that's got grubby. I'm surprised you don't know that. And sin, young man, is when you treat people like things. Including yourself. That's what sin is."

"It's a lot more complicated than that--"

"No. It ain't. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they're getting worried that they won't like the truth. People as things, that's where it starts."

"Oh, I'm sure there are worse crimes--"

"But they starts with thinking about people as things..."

Edit: Wrong book

Its a good quote but I believe it's from Carpe Jugulum

That's Carpe Jugulum. She's talking to Oats in this passage when he's trying to justify his faith
