I think the world is full of evil people. I think in some ways we're in more danger now than before.

As human beings we have the most extraordinary capacity for evil. We can perpetrate some of the most horrendous atrocities.

I think evil is very relative.

There is such a thing as doing good that evil may come.

The power of choosing good and evil is within the reach of all.

I tend to think that good and evil exist and that the quantity in each of us is unchangeable. The moral character of people is set, fixed until death.

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.

What we call 'evil' doesn't necessarily deserve any kind of respect or understanding, by any means; it just deserves an acknowledgement of its complexity so we can better understand it - so we can help prevent it.

There surely is in human nature an inherent propensity to extract all the good out of all the evil.
