Evil Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Evil

Only among people who think no evil can Evil monstrously flourish.
Smith, Logan Pearsall

3.
We may draw good out of evil; we must not do evil, that good may come.
Chapman, Maria Weston

4.
The trouble with Eichmann was precisely that so many were like him, and that the many were neither perverted nor sadistic, that they were, and still are, terribly and terrifyingly normal.

Arendt, Hannah

The pious pretence that evil does not exist only makes it vague, enormous and menacing.
Crowley, Aleister

10.
The evil that we know is best.
Titus Maccius Plautus

11.
What wisdom can there be to choose, what continence to forbear without the knowledge of evil? He that can apprehend and consider vice with all her baits and seeming pleasures, and yet abstain, and yet distinguish, and yet prefer that which is truly better, he is the true wayfaring Christian.
Milton, John

12.
The love of evil is the root of all money.

The surest defense against Evil is extreme individualism, originality of thinking, whimsicality, even -- if you will -- eccentricity. That is, something that can't be feigned, faked, imitated; something even a seasoned imposter couldn't be happy with.
Brodsky, Joseph

21.
I couldn't claim that I have never felt the urge to explore evil, but when you descend into hell you have to be very careful.

Lawrence, D. H.

31.
Evil is obvious only in retrospect.
Gloria Steinem
