“All that evil requires is an absence of virtue, where somebody didn't make a stand.”

“He loves you that much.”

“The wages of sin is death but so is the salary of virtue, and at least the evil get to go home early on Fridays.”

“There is only one success: to be able to spend life in your own way and not to give others absurd maddening claims upon it.”

“Perception was easily accomplished, required little effort, and it never had to stand the test of reality.”

“There is no such thing as pure good or pure evil, least of all in people. In the best of us there are thoughts or deeds that are wicked, and in the worst of us, at least some virtue. An adversary is not one who does loathsome acts for their own sake. He always has a reason that to him is justification. My cat eats mice. Does that make him bad? I don't think so, and the cat doesn't think so, but I would bet the mice have a different opinion.”

“Such beliefs were born in man's willful refusal to use his mind, in his lust for the unearned, his wish for success without effort. Such beliefs were the embodiment of hatred for all that was good, hatred for virtue, hatred for value. It was ultimately a hatred of themselves, of life, of existence. It was that hate, that dedication to death, that was the true manifestation of evil.”
