Anathema (Anathema #1)

by Nick Roberts

it does no good to worry about the past or the future, because it only prevents you from being useful in the present moment.

“The thing about absolutes is that they have no motive. Whether something is absolute good or absolute evil, they are these things because that is their nature. They just are. If someone was acting with motives of vengeance, pleasure, or rage for example, they would just be a normal, flawed human being. One could look at their acts and find a reason for why they committed them. Absolute evil has no motive. You will only drive yourself mad trying to prove that to be contrary.”
