The Ultimate Evil Quotes

“I think we believe in the specter of organized evil to make sense of aberrant behaviors we don’t understand, and to protect us from a far more unsettling notion: that this malevolence we fear does exist, and it lives deep inside each and every one of us, waiting to emerge. In the end, is it not more terrifying to accept that there is no grand conspiracy—no structure, no organization, no method to the madness that haunts us all? That there is only rudderless chaos? To me, that is the ultimate evil.”

“The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.” But I say different. I think the greatest trick man ever pulled was convincing himself that the devil was real.”
