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

Evil always turns up in this world through some genius or other.

Corrupt fantasy points us, or forms us, in a consciousness that can lead to thinking that evil is good and good is evil. In the worst case, this may have long range effects, prompting the reader intuitively, subconsciously, to do evil while thinking they're doing good.

But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.

All evils to which so many become addicted begin in the mind and in the way one thinks.

All human evil comes from a single cause, man's inability to sit still in a room.

There are evils that have the ability to survive identification and go on for ever... money, for instance, or war.

If evil is empathy erosion, and empathy erosion is a form of illness, then evil turns out to be nothing more than a particularly awful psychological disorder.

No evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death.
