“If we could only learn to look on evil as evil, whether it's clothed in filth or monotony or magnificence.”
“When we forgive evil we do not excuse it, we do not tolerate it, we do not smother it. We look the evil full in the face, call it what it is, let its horror shock and stun and enrage us, and only then do we forgive it.”
“It is well, I think, for us to learn to tell evil from good; but it has its price, as everything does. We leave our evil friend behind.”
“Annihilation itself is no death to evil. Only good where evil was, is evil dead. An evil thing must live with its evil until it chooses to be good. That alone is the slaying of evil.”
“We must learn that passively to accept an unjust system is to cooperate with that system, and thereby to become a participant in its evil.”
“He wasn't evil as much as magnificently innocent of any kind of morality.”
