More From Willie Nelson

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.

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.

I had motives for not wanting the world to have meaning; consequently assumed that it had none, and was able without any difficulty to find satisfying reasons for this assumption ... for myself, as no doubt, for most of my contemporaries, the philosophy of meaninglessness was essentially an instrument of liberation. the liberation we desired was simultaneous liberation from a certain political and economic system, and liberation from a certain system of morality. we objected to the morality because it interfered with our sexual freedom.

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.

The good or ill hap of a good or ill life, is the good or ill choice of a good or ill wife.

Evil is thus a kind of parasite on goodness. if there were no good by which to measure things, evil could not exist. men sometimes forget this, and say, there is so much evil in the world that there cannot be a god. they are forgetting that, if there were no god, they would have no way of distinguishing evil from goodness. the very concept of evil admits and recognizes a standard, a whole, a rule, an order. nobody would say that his automobile was out of order if he did not have a conception of how an automobile ought to run.
