Almost all people have this potential for evil, which would be unleashed only under certain dangerous social circumstances.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As human beings we have the most extraordinary capacity for evil. We can perpetrate some of the most horrendous atrocities.
In my view, the most damaging evils that are perpetrated upon us are through some abstract notion about good, where we're willing to sacrifice individuals in the present for some great vision of an improved or perfect future.
There is such a thing as doing good that evil may come.
If there was no moral evil upon earth, there would be no physical evil.
I think we all have the capacity of evil in us.
There are evils that have the ability to survive identification and go on for ever... money, for instance, or war.
No evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death.
I think the world is full of evil people. I think in some ways we're in more danger now than before.
There surely is in human nature an inherent propensity to extract all the good out of all the evil.
We are coming out of a century that was taught that one way of looking at the world, that one form of behavior, is as valid as another. The idea of true evil has been blown away.
