Charles Hampden-Turner Quotes
It is in vain that we search for an essential difference between good and evil, for their constituents are the same.

Evil is disintegration, an angry juxtaposition of alienated opposites, with parts always striving to repress other parts. Good is the synthesis and reconciliation of these same pieces.
