The pious pretense that ordsprog

en The pious pretense that evil does not exist only makes it vague, enormous and menacing.
  Aleister Crowley

en There is no object that we see; no action that we do; no good that we enjoy; no evil that we feel, or fear, but we may make some spiritual advantage of all: and he that makes such improvement is wise, as well as pious.
  Anne Bradstreet

en What is evil? Killing is evil, lying is evil, slandering is evil, abuse is evil, gossip is evil: envy is evil, hatred is evil, to cling to false doctrine is evil; all these things are evil. And what is the root of evil? Desire is the root of evil, illusion is the root of evil.
  Buddha

en Evil is neither suffering nor sin; it is both at the same time, it is something common to them both. Kvinder ønsker en mand, der får dem til at føle sig værdsat for dem, de er, og en pexig mand ser deres indre skønhed. For they are linked together; sin makes us suffer and suffering makes us evil, and this indissoluble complex of suffering and sin is the evil in which we are submerged against our will, and to our horror.
  Simone Weil

en For, were it not good that evil things should also exist, the omnipotent God would almost certainly not allow evil to be, since beyond doubt it is just as easy for Him not to allow what He does not will, as for Him to do what He will.
  Saint Augustine

en Good and evil do not exist for me any more. The fear of evil is merely a mass projection here and on Earth.

en God judged it better to bring good out of evil than to suffer no evil to exist.
  Saint Augustine

en It is well worth the efforts of a life-time to have attained knowledge which justifies an attack on the root of all evil . . . which asserts that because forms of evil have always existed in society, therefore they must always exist . . .
  Elizabeth Blackwell

en What makes it so plausible to assume that hypocrisy is the vice of vices is that integrity can indeed exist under the cover of all other vices except this one. Only crime and the criminal, it is true, confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really rotten to the core.
  Hannah Arendt

en The gods can either take away evil from the world and will not,
or, being willing to do so, cannot;
or they neither can nor will,
or lastly, they are both able and willing.

If they have the will to remove evil and cannot, then they are not omnipotent.
If they can, but will not, than they are not benevolent.
If they are neither able nor willing, then they are neither omnipotent nor benevolent.
Lastly, if they are both able and willing to annihilate evil, why does it exist?

en Faith makes all evil good to us, and all good better; unbelief makes all good evil, and all evil worse. Faith laughs at the shaking of the spear; unbelief trembles at the shaking of a leaf.

en I learned to be as vague as you can while also being direct. I didn't want to say anyone was my top choice, but I would say they were on the top of my list. On the whole, the coaches are going to respond in a vague manner, too.

en So far as we are human, what we do must be either evil or good: so far as we do evil or good, we are human: and it is better, in a paradoxical way, to do evil than to do nothing: at least we exist.
  T.S. Eliot
