Evil Quotes
-
What is new, however, is always evil, being that which wants to conquer and overthrow the old boundary markers and the old pieties; and only what is old is good. The good men are in all ages those who dig the old thoughts, digging deep and getting them to bear fruit - the farmers of the spirit. But eventually all land is depleted, and the ploughshare of evil must come again and again.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Saint Augustine

William Hazlitt
-
Men regard it as their right to return evil for evil and, if they cannot, feel they have lost their liberty.
Aristotle

A king is he who has laid fear aside and the base longings of an evil heart; whom ambition unrestrained and the fickle favor of the reckless mob move not.
