I think one of the most pervasive evils in this world is greed and acquiring money for money's sake. Once you have six houses and a plane, it's just about a number. It's never been anything I understood.

The root of all evil isn't money; rather, it's not having enough money.

We're all caught up in circumstances, and we're all good and evil. When you're really hungry, for instance, you'll do anything to survive. I think the most evil thing - well, maybe that's too strong - but certainly a very evil thing is judgment, the sin of ignorance.

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.

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

Almost all people have this potential for evil, which would be unleashed only under certain dangerous social circumstances.

Lack of money is the root of all evil.

I challenge anyone to tell me there isn't evil in this world.

Evil is not to be traced back to the individual but to the collective behavior of humanity.

Evil, by definition, is that which endangers the good, and the good is what we perceive as a value.
