Evilness Quotes (page 55)

This was another of our fears: that Life wouldn't turn out to be like Literature. Look at our parents--were they the stuff of Literature? At best, they might aspire to the condition of onlookers and bystanders, part of a social backdrop against which real, true, important things could happen. Like what? The things Literature was about: Love, sex, morality, friendship, happiness, suffering, betrayal, adultery, good and evil, heroes and villains, guilt and innocence, ambition, power, justice,... Julian Barnes
Vladimir Lenin quote: "Despair is typical of those who do not understand the causes..."
Despair is typical of those who do not understand the causes of evil, see no way out, and are incapable of struggle. Vladimir Lenin
In the words of the Mongolian creation myth: ‘There came a wild dog who was blue and gray and whose destiny was imposed on him by the heavens. His mate was a roe deer. Thus begins another love story. The wild dog with his courage and strength, the doe with her gentleness, intuition, and elegance. Hunter and hunted meet and love each other. According to the laws of nature, one should destroy the other, but in love there is neither good nor evil, there is neither construction nor destruction,... Paulo Coelho

America isn't young, you know. It's ancient and evil. With aluminum siding. Rudy Rucker
The ideals and objectives of yesterday was still ideals of today, but they lost some of their luster and even, as one seemed to go towards them, they lost the shining beauty which had warmed the heart and vitalized the body. Evil triumphed often enough, but what was far worse was the coarsening and distortion of what seemed so right. Was human nature so essentially bad that it would take ages of training ,through suffering and misfortune, before it could behave reasonably and raise man above... Jawaharlal Nehru
He had also learned that the sick and unfortunate are far more receptive to traditional magic spells and exorcisms than to sensible advice; that people more readily accept affliction and outward penances than the task of changing themselves, or even examining themselves; that they believe more easily in magic than reason, in formulas than experience . . . They would much rather pay in money and goods than in trust and love. They cheat one another and expect to be cheated themselves. You had... Herman Hesse
The fact that no limits exist to the destructiveness of this weapon makes its very existence and the knowledge of its construction a danger to humanity as a whole. It is necessarily an evil thing considered in any light. Enrico Fermi
A BoatO beautifulwas the werewolfin his evil forest. We took himto the carnivaland he startedcryingwhen he sawthe Ferris wheel. Electricgreen and red tearsflowed downhis furry cheeks. He lookedlike a boatout on the darkwater. Richard Brautigan
Trade protection accumulates upon a single point the good which it effects, while the evil inflicted is infused throughout the mass. The one strikes the eye at a first glance, while the other becomes perceptible only to close investigation. Frederic Bastiat
In nature there's no blemish but the mind; None can be called deformed but the unkind: Virtue is beauty, but the beauteous evil. Are empty trunks, o'erflourished by the devil. William Shakespeare
There were some things that only time could cure. Evil men could be destroyed, but nothing could be done with good men who were deluded. Arthur C. Clarke
Not far from here, by a white sun, behind a green star, lived the Steelypips, illustrious, industrious, and they hadn't a care: no spats in their vats, no rules, no schools, no gloom, no evil influence of the moon, no trouble from matter or antimatter - for they had a machine, a dream of a machine, with springs and gears and perfect in every respect. Stanislaw Lem
Thomas Hardy quote: "All things merge in one another - good into evil, generosity..."
All things merge in one another - good into evil, generosity into justice, religion into politics... Thomas Hardy
Samuel Johnson quote: "All severity that does not tend to increase good, or prevent..."
All severity that does not tend to increase good, or prevent evil, is idle. Samuel Johnson
May 2 Numbers 6 The Nazarite was holy in three negative ways: (1) he must not touch the grape; (2) he must not cut his hair; (3) he must not touch a dead body. Were I to transopose such consecration into new testament parallels I suppose this would be the setup:1. Grapes-- the source of natural joy--that which makes glad the heart of man. This is denying oneself the allowable pleasures for the sake of a greater holiness.2. The long hair of man is his shame. He must let it grow so... Jim Elliot
