The Reason why Evil Thrives.

"If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?"

 

- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn in his classical book, The Gulag Archipelago (1973).

Nothing is Enough for the Man to Whom "Enough" is too Little.

 

"Nothing is enough

for the man

 to whom 'enough' is too little.

 If the gods were to listen

 to all the wishes

 and prayers of men,

 all of humankind

 would have perished

 since they constantly wish

 and pray for evils

 to befall one another."

 - Epicurus, Greek philosopher (341 BC to 270 BC).
