Pure Evil Quotes

• If the myth of pure evil is that evil is committed with the intention of causing harm and an absence of moral considerations, then it applies to very few acts of so-called 'pure evil' because most evildoers believe what they are doing is forgivable or justifiable.

  Steven Pinker

  Believe, Evil, Moral

• Esto forma parte del pacto involuntario que hacemos con el mundo por el mero hecho de estar vivos. Experimentamos el esplendor de la naturaleza, la belleza del arte, el bálsamo del amor y la pura alegría de existir, siempre con el conocimiento de que una enfermedad, una lesión, un desastre natural o la pura maldad pueden acabar en un instante con nosotros mismos o con alguien a quien queremos.

• 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.

• I remembered my little brother, Allyn, had appeared so innocent and angelic when he slept--similar to Kerrick. It must be a survival tactic. If Allyn hadn't looked so sweet, we would have killed him while he slept. He had been pure evil when he was awake--similar to Kerrick.

• A friend once told me that the real message Bram Stoker sought to convey in 'Dracula' is that a human being needs to live hundreds and hundreds of years to get all his reading done; that Count Dracula, basically nothing more than a misunderstood bookworm, was draining blood from the necks of 10,000 hapless virgins not because he was the apotheosis of pure evil but because it was the only way he could live long enough to polish off his extensive reading list. But I have no way of knowing if this is true, as I have not yet found time to read 'Dracula.

• Era un sueño. Un sueño muy, muy malo, provocado por una intoxicación hepática por demasiados gin-tonics. Aquí estaba, un trato con el diablo. ¿A qué precio mi alma? Me miraba expectante y amenazador al mismo tiempo. Si decía que no, sabía lo que pasaría. Guarda el vaso, camarera, ¡estoy bebiendo de la botella! La hora feliz, con mi cuello de barril. Si decía que sí, estaría aceptando una asociación con el mal en estado puro.

• Había visto el ballet de El lago de los cisnes de niña, pero fue de adulta, cuando vi una producción de Erik Bruhn, cuando me di cuenta por primera vez de la importancia del papel que desempeñaba la amenaza constante de la violencia.

• I don't think I've ever been face to face with pure evil, so I don't think I've ever seen it with my own eyes. But I do understand human frailty and I do understand the capacity of people to be intermittently noble and virtuous and fallible.
