“It is very hard for evil to take hold of the unconsenting soul.”

“Good and Evil are very hard to explain or understand. I'm sure that evil exists, but it is hard to isolate. Good and evil are intertwined and impossible to separate. They are not completely opposites and in fact are often one and the same.”

“Evil is easy to fight. Lack of wisdom...that is very hard indeed.”

“We too often forget that not only is there 'a soul of goodness in things evil,' but very generally also, a soul of truth in things erroneous.”

“Surely a man must be in a parlours state to excite pity, extremely weak to inspire sympathy, or very evil-looking to make a soul tremble in a den like this, where pain must hold its tongue, poverty remain cheerful, and despair retain its self respect.”

“Weeping is terrible for the complexion" said Leonie, holding Shayndel close, "but it is very good for the soul.”
