“What is there so fearful as the expectation of evil tidings delayed? ... Misery is a more welcome visitant when she comes in her darkest guise and wraps us in perpetual black, for then the heart no longer sickens with disappointed hope.- The Evil Eye”

“But length of days with an evil heart is only length of misery and already she begins to know it. All get what they want; they do not always like it.”

“I hold no evil in my heart...This evil does not touch me. More may come, but not this. Not here. Not now.”

“The evil heart is patient, cross her fingers, palms together, hope, pray and act with faith, that all your hard work may come to nothing”

“Nature seems to welcome defiance of conventions, and to say, with a smile, 'So, the truant has come back again!' ("Absolute Evil")”

“If your motives aren't clean, money itself becomes evil. But When we don't have money enough evil, the world tells us we're losers. So what determines our place in society is not how much kindness is in our hearts but how much evil is in our wallet.”
