“It's no good choosing your first husband from a school for evil geniuses. Much too difficult to kill.”

“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.”

“And it's really very difficult to kill someone when all your inner instincts would oblige you to take off your hat first!”

“There is no such thing as an evil genius, as evil in it's self is stupidity.”

“In this world, there is no absolute good, no absolute evil," the man said. "Good and evil are not fixed, stable entities, but are continually trading places. A good may be transformed into an evil in the next second. And vice versa. Such was the way of the world that Dostoevsky depicted in The Brothers Karamazov. The most important thing is to maintain the balance between the constantly moving good and evil. If you lean too much in either direction, it becomes difficult to maintain actual morals. Indeed, balance itself is the good.”

“Its how we choose to use our powers that makes us good or evil.”
