good-and-evil

There isn't any good or bad, everything is either a product of pure awareness or sheer ignorance!

Goodness is something chosen. When a man cannot choose he ceases to be a man.

A book is a private thing, citizen; it belongs to the one who writes it and to the one who reads it. Like the mind itself, a book is a private space. Within that space, anything is possible. The greatest evil and the greatest good.

There are no heroes and there are no villains. There are just opposing points of view. That's all history is...the viciously long battle between world views.

If one cannot gain recognition foranything else, he can rest well with the assurance that he is "good," which in most cases equates with "right". Were it not for an evil to rail against he might just as well never have been born. Yes, evil is the great savior and sustainer of those whocondemn it most.

You're not trying to find the answer to a question, you're simply trying to confirm something you desperately want to believe: that everyone is evil.

...in the Twilight Princess worldview, darkness is not necessarily correlated with evil, just as light is not necessarily correlated with good.

Well -- think about this. What if all your actions and choices, good or bad, make no difference to God? What if the pattern is pre-set? No no -- hang on -- this is a question worth struggling with. What if our badness and mistakes are the very thing that set our fate and bring us round to good? What if, for some of us, we can't get there any other way?

How is it possible that anyone can believe in a kind of God of Evil named Satan or Devil? Surely, evil lies within oneself.

You've sinned, I suppose, but your punishment has been out of all proportion. They have turned you into something other than a human being. You have no power of choice any longer. You are committed to socially acceptable acts, a little machine capable only of good.

People couldn't become truly holy, he said, unless they also had the opportunity to be definitively wicked.

Good does not exist.It is merely an absent of evil.

I believe that there is good in everyone, even an evil pirate such as you.

It is well, I think, for us to learn to tell evil from good; but it has its price, as everything does. We leave our evil friend behind.

Beware when wrong-doing is called good and right-doing is called evil.

Not only does evil depend upon good, but in this case, darkness depends upon light.

Men who believe in good and evil, and who believe that good should win, should watch for those moments when it is possible to play God

One thing yo learn when you've lived as long as I have-people aren't all good, and people aren't all bad. We move in and out of darkness and light all of our lives. Right now, I'm pleased to be in the light.
