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

For something to be completely evil is to be nothing. Satan has good attributes - intelligence, for instance - but they are corrupted. I cannot reconcile myself emotionally to alternative understandings of evil.

Whether or not the devil is really good or evil is something that we don't really know.

I think there's something about evil that is thoughtless and relentless and incredibly frightening because it can't be reckoned with, reasoned with or stopped.

I find myself evil. I believe in the devil as much as God. You can use either one to get things done.

If there is a God, whence proceed so many evils? If there is no God, whence cometh any good?

I've learned a lot about good and evil. They are not always what they appear to be.

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.

I'm a religious, spiritual person, but if there is good in the world, there must be evil, too.

Evil is an attack against human spiritual development and enlightenment. All evil, badness, neurosis - it has one motive and one motive only, which is to destroy - to destroy your chance of arising above yourself.
