Philip Zimbardo Quotes

We want to believe in the essential, unchanging goodness of people, in their power to resist external pressures, in their rational appraisal and then rejection of situational temptations.

We simplify the complexity of human experience by erecting a seemingly impermeable boundary between Good and Evil.

Philip Zimbardo
