Evils Quotes (page 35)

There were fourteen steps exactly fourteen. But the top one was smaller, out of proportion, as if it had been added to avoid the evil number. Stephen King
What is evil?" asked the younger man. The round web, with its black center, seemed to watch them both. "A web we men weave." Ged answered. Ursula K. Le Guin
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe quote: "The greatest evil that can befall man is that he should come..."
The greatest evil that can befall man is that he should come to think ill of himself. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Our institutions are too big; they represent not the best but the worst characteristics of human beings. By submitting to huge hierarchies of power, we gain freedom from personal responsibility for what we do and are forced to do - the seduction of it - but we lose the dignity of being real men and women. Power corrupts; attracts the worst and corrupts the best. ... Refuse to participate in evil; insist on taking part in what is healthy, generous, and responsible. Stand up, speak out, and... Edward Abbey
Every reform by violence is to be deprecated, because it does little to correct the evil while men remain as they are, and because wisdom has no need of violence. Leo Tolstoy
Edmund Burke quote: "All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men(and..."
All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men(and women)to do nothing. Edmund Burke
Beneath the gore and smoke and loam, this book is about the evanescence of life, and why some men choose to fill their brief allotment of time engaging the impossible, others in the manufacture of sorrow. In the end it is a story of the ineluctable conflict between good and evil, daylight and darkness, the White City and the Black. Erik Larson
Piers Anthony quote: "Every person professes to love good and hate evil, but in his..."
Every person professes to love good and hate evil, but in his actions his real preferences emerges. Piers Anthony
George Orwell quote: "I have the most evil memories of Spain, but I have very few..."
I have the most evil memories of Spain, but I have very few bad memories of Spaniards. George Orwell
It was not in her nature, however, to increase her vexations by dwelling on them. She was confident of having performed her duty, and to fret over unavoidable evils, or augment them by anxiety, was not part of her disposition. Jane Austen
Words - so innocent and powerless, as they are standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them. Nathaniel Hawthorne
Let me think!' said Aragorn. 'And now may I make a right choice, and change the evil fate of this unhappy day!' He stood silent for a moment. 'I will follow the Orcs,' he said at last. 'I would have guided Frodo to Mordor and gone with him to the end but if I seek him now in the wilderness, I must abandon the captives to torment and death. My heart speaks clearly at last: the fate of the Bearer is in my hands no longer. The Company has played its part. Yet we that remain cannot forsake our... J. R. R. Tolkien
This evil, this concept, it comes from disappointment, from bitterness! Don't you see? Children of Satan! Children of God! Is this the only question you bring to me, is this the only power that obsesses you, so that you must make us gods and devils yourself when the only power that exists is inside ourselves? How could you believe in these old fantastical lies, these myths, these emblems of the supernatural? Anne Rice
John Milton quote: "So farewell hope, and with hope farewell fear, Farewell..."
So farewell hope, and with hope farewell fear, Farewell remorse: all good to me is lost; Evil, be thou my good. John Milton
Any black person who clings to the misguided notion that white people represent the embodiment of all that is evil and black people all that is good remains wedded to the very logic of Western metaphysical dualism that is the heart of racist binary thinking. Such thinking is not liberatory. Like the racist educational ideology it mirrors and imitates, it invites a closing of the mind. Bell Hooks
