A Song of Shadows (Charlie Parker, #13)

by John Connolly

“She’s talking about evil, but throwing around the word ‘evil’ like it means something don’t help anyone. Evil is the avoidance of responsibility. It doesn’t explain. You might even say that it excuses. To see the real terror, the real darkness, you have to look at the actions of men, however awful they may appear, and call them human. When you can do that, then you’ll understand.”
