“But those with an evil heart seem to have a talent for destroying anything beautiful which is about to bloom.”

“Evil people are those who knew they're evil, but refused to do anything about it.”

“ find a heart, which blooms with love”

“Those who hope for purity and righteousness always try and destroy that which disturbs them. They think the disturbance comes from outside themselves. This is a serious problem. Wars, suicide bombings, and all sorts of other nasty things start from the premise that we can destroy "evil" outside ourselves without dealing with the evil within.”

“I certainly have not the talent which some people possess, of conversing easily with those I have never seen before.”

“If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?”
