My mother's
obsession with the good scissors always scared me a bit. It
implied that somewhere in the house there lurked: the evil
scissors.

Evil is
something you recognize immediately you see it: it works
through charm.

There is no
explanation for evil. It must be looked upon as a necessary
part of the order of the universe. To ignore it is childish,
to bewail it senseless.
-- W. Somerset Maugham
1874-1965, British Novelist,
Playwright
But what is
the greatest evil? If you are going to epitomize evil, what
is it? Is it the bomb? The greatest evil that one has to
fight constantly, every minute of the day until one dies, is
the worse part of oneself.
-- Patrick Mcgoohan

What wisdom
can there be to choose, what continence to forbear without
the knowledge of evil? He that can apprehend and consider
vice with all her baits and seeming pleasures, and yet
abstain, and yet distinguish, and yet prefer that which is
truly better, he is the true wayfaring Christian.
-- John Milton
1608-1674, British Poet
Nothing
baffles the schemes of evil people so much as the calm
composure of great souls.
-- Gabriel Riqueti Mirabeau
1749-1791, French
Revolutionary Politician, Orator
Evil is easy,
and has infinite forms.
-- Blaise Pascal
1623-1662, French Scientist,

I have
discovered that all human evil comes from this, man's being
unable to sit still and quiet in a room alone.
-- Blaise Pascal
1623-1662, French Scientist,
Religious Philosopher
