There's too much tendency to attribute to God the evils that man does of his own free will.

God judged it better to bring good out of evil than to suffer no evil to exist.

Evil is like water, it abounds, is cheap, soon fouls, but runs itself clear of taint.

To go to the world below, having a soul which is like a vessel full of injustice, is the last and worst of all the evils.

Both mind and heart when given up to reveries and dreaminess, have a thousand avenues open for the entrance of evil.

'Evil' is quite a blanket term. People aren't the demonic characters we would like them to be sometimes.

Evil has no substance of its own, but is only the defect, excess, perversion, or corruption of that which has substance.

The line between good and evil is permeable and almost anyone can be induced to cross it when pressured by situational forces.

Every evil is a sickness of soul, but virtue offers the cause of its health.

Evil is unintelligible. It is just a thing in itself, like boarding a crowded commuter train wearing only a giant boa constrictor. There is no context which would make it explicable.
