Give a truly good person power, and they’re still a good person. give a bad person power, and they’re still a bad person. the question is always about the person in between. the one that isn’t evil, or good, but just ordinary. you don’t always know what an ordinary person is like on the inside.

Give A Truly Good Person Power, And

Evil Giving Ordinary

More From Laurell K. Hamilton

When one has once accepted and absorbed evil, it no longer demands the unfitness of the means. the ulterior motives with which youabsorb and assimilate evil are not your own but those of evil.... evil is whatever distracts. evil knows of the good, but good does not know of evil. knowledge of oneself is something only evil has. one means that evil has is the dialogue.... one cannot pay evil in installments--and one always keeps on trying to.
Mean Evil Trying
There's always the same amount of good luck and bad luck in the world. if one person doesn't get the bad luck, somebody else will have to get it in their place. there's always the same amount of good and evil, too. we can't eradicate evil, we can only evict it, force it to move across town. and when evil moves, some good always goes with it. but we can never alter the ratio of good to evil. all we can do is keep things stirred up so neither good nor evil solidifies. that's when things get scary. life is like a stew, you have to stir it frequently, or all the scum rises to the top.
Moving Good Luck Evil
There's two kinds of evil that horror fiction always deals with. one kind is the sort of evil that comes from inside people, like in dr. jekyll and mr. hyde. the other kind of evil is predestined evil. it falls on you like a stroke of lightning. that's the scary stuff, but, in a way, it's the stuff you don't have to worry about. i gotta worry whether or not i'm getting cavities. i gotta worry about whether cigarettes are giving me cancer. those are things i can change. don't give me lightning out of a clear sky. if that hits me i just say, "that's probably the way god meant it to be."
Cancer Fall Sky
The problem of good and evil is not the problem of good and evil, but only the problem of evil. in opposition to good there are evil characters, but there are no good characters in opposition to evil. evil is arguable, but good is not. therefore the devil always wins the argument.
Character Winning Evil
My study of gandhi convinced me that true pacifism is not nonresistance to evil, but nonviolent resistance to evil. between the two positions, there is a world of difference. gandhi resisted evil with as much vigor and power as the violent resister, but true pacifism is not unrealistic submission to evil power. it is rather a courageous confrontation of evil by the power of love. . . .
