Quotations
Evil
Evil men sprout like weeds in the sun, like weeds that spread all through the garden. Their roots wrap round the stones and hold fast to every rock.
-Jesus Christ
God judged it better to bring good out of evil than to suffer no evil to exist.
-Saint Augustine of Hippo
If God listened to the prayers of men, all men would quickly have perished: for they are forever praying for evil against one another.
-Epicurus
We can never choose evil. We always choose the good, and nothing can be good for us without being good for all.
-Jean Paul Sartre
When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
