Our 'neoconservatives' are neither new nor conservative, but old as Bablyon and evil as Hell.
Edward Abbey, American Author (1927-1989)
Property is not the sacred right. When a rich man becomes poor it is a misfortune, it is not a moral evil. When a poor man becomes destitute, it is a moral evil, teeming with consequences and injurious to society and morality.
Lord Acton, British Historian (1834-1902)
The one pervading evil of democracy is the tyranny of the majority, or rather of that party, not always the majority, that succeeds, by force or fraud, in carrying elections.
Lord Acton, British Historian (1834-1902)
Goodness is something that makes us serene and content; it is magnificent. Those who are not good are evil.

It will never do to plead sin as an excuse for sin, or to attempt to justify sinful acts by pleading that we have an evil heart. This instead of being a valid apology, is the very ground of our condemnation.
Archibald Alexander, American Clergyman
All good is hard. All evil is easy. Dying, losing, cheating, and mediocrity is easy. Stay away from easy.

I believe you can make forces of good and evil work for you, to get what you want.

Make movies. Don't make videos. Videos are evil.
Jeff Ament, American Musician (1963-  )
Money doesn't mind if we say it's evil, it goes from strength to strength. It's a fiction, an addiction, and a tacit conspiracy.
Martin Amis, British Author (1949-  )
A baseball manager is a necessary evil.
Sparky Anderson, American Coach (1934-2010)
In a certain sense, this guy - who is one of the most evil people in the book - he's not really that bad at running the show, because he knows what he's doing, he's smart and he's got the big picture in mind. He's like the Godfather.
Kevin J. Anderson, American Writer (1962-  )
All evil comes from the old.They grow fat on ideas and young men die of them.
Jean Anouilh, French Playwright (1910-1987)
I do not consider divorce an evil by any means. It is just as much a refuge for women married to brutal men as Canada was to the slaves of brutal masters.
