Evil Quotes
-
But for that blindness which is inseparable from malice, what terrible powers of evil would it possess! Fortunately for the world, its venom, like that of the rattlesnake, when most poisonous, clouds the eye of the reptile, and defeats its aim.
William Gilmore Simms

Jeff Bridges

Roaming in thought over the Universe, I saw the little that is Good steadily hastening towards immortality,And the vast that is evil I saw hastening to merge itself and become lost and dead.
Walt Whitman
-
Hast thou chosen, O my people, on whose party thou shalt stand,Ere the Doom from its worn sandals shakes the dust against our land?Though the cause of Evil prosper, yet ’tis Truth alone is strong,And, albeit she wander outcast now, I see around her throngTroops of beautiful, tall angels, to enshield her from all wrong.
James Russell Lowell

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Sharpe's sword was lucky. There was a soldier's goddess and her name was Fate and she had liked the sword Harper made for Sharpe. The Kligenthal was stained with the blood of friends, with the torture of flayed priests, and the beautiful sword contained not luck, but evil.

Wisdom is the knowledge of good and evil, not the strength to choose between the two.
John Cheever
-
He will punish all the evil deeds of men, although they have not been prohibited by a prophet, if common sense warns against them, as e.g., injustice and violence. ...it is distinctly added that he who does a good thing without being commanded, receives nevertheless his reward. The same principle is expressed in all the sayings of our Sages.
Maimonides
-
It's hard to align with money if you think that it is evil and nasty. But once you come to an understanding that money is neutral, it's easy to see that having money does not necessarily deprive somebody else. There's no reason why you can't be very rich and still be an extremely spiritual and wonderfully generous person-aligned to the God Force-with a huge heart, and compassion for everyone you meet.
Stuart Wilde
