There is an old illusion. It is called good and evil.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
There is an old illusion. It is called good and evil.
The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary; men alone are quite capable of every wickedness.

The concept of portraying evil and then destroying it – I know this is considered mainstream, but I think it is rotten. This idea that whenever something evil happens someone particular can be blamed and punished for it, in life and in politics, is hopeless.
— Hayao Miyazaki

But, as in ethics, evil is a consequence of good, so, in fact, out of joy is sorrow born.
Edgar Allan Poe
