Books may not change our suffering, books may not protect us from evil, books may not tell us what is good or what is beautiful, and they will certainly not shield us from the common fate of the grave. But books grant us myriad possibilities: the possibility of change, the possibility of illumination.
Alberto Manguel
Image
If the personal freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution inhibit the government's ability to govern the people, we should look to limit those guarantees.
William J. Clinton
Image
Good is that which promotes life, evil is that which destroys life
Albert Schweitzer
Image
The elemental fact, present in our consciousness every moment of our existence, is: I am life that wills to live, in the midst of life that wills to live.... The essence of the humane spirit is: Preserve life, promote life, help life to achieve its highest destiny. The essence of Evil is: Destroy life, harm life, hamper the development of life
Albert Schweitzer
Image
I once heard a learned man say, Every evil has its remedy, except folly. To reprimand an obstinate fool or to preach to a dolt is like writing upon the water. Christ healed the blind, the halt, the palsied, and the leprous. But the fool He could not cure.
Khalil Gibran
Image
O heavenly Father, protect and bless all things that have breath: guard them from all evil and let them sleep in peace.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
With only one thing in common, they got the fire down below.
Bob Seger
Image
Apparently you have ample proof from experience that you're not going to stop world evil by debating your in-laws into submission, so it's okay to choose not to try.
Carolyn Hax
Image
This is for you. A mage named Randal told me to give it to the Band if you ever came back. 'It surmounts evil,' he told me, 'keeps doom at bay.'
Janet Morris
Image
There is no doubt that healthy-mindedness is inadequate as a philosophical doctrine, because the evil facts which it refuses positively to account for are a genuine portion of reality and they may after all be the best key to life's significance, and possibly the only openers of our eyes to the deepest levels of truth.
William James
Image
Let sanguine healthy-mindedness do its best with its strange power of living in the moment and ignoring and forgetting, still the evil background is really there to be thought of, and the skull will grin in at the banquet.
William James
Image
There is no evil as terrible as a woman.
Euripides
Image
Since you make evil or good by your own thoughts, it is your ruling of your thoughts which proves to be your principal concern.
William James
Image
Just because we don't see a reason for evil and suffering doesn't mean there's not a reason for it.
Timothy Keller
Image
The world is in greater peril from those who tolerate or encourage evil than from those who actually commit it.
Albert Einstein
Image
The economic anarchy of capitalist society as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evil.
Albert Einstein
Image
I have a voice, too, and for good or evil mine is the speech that cannot be silenced
Joseph Conrad
Image
The world is not threatened by evil people, but by those who allow evil to take place.
Albert Einstein
Image
There can be no existence of evil as a force to the healthy-minded individual.
William James
Image
Children are the root of all evil.... Happy the man who has his quiver empty.
William John Locke
Image
The armament industry is indeed one of the greatest dangers that beset mankind. It is the hidden evil power.
Albert Einstein
Image
The world is a dangerous place to live
Albert Einstein
Image
My crime is that I will not go with the multitude to do evil. My singularity is that when I say that freedom is of God and slavery is of the devil, I mean just what I say. My fanaticism is that I insist on the American people abolishing slavery, or ceasing to prate on the rights of man.
William Lloyd Garrison
Image
Orwell is almost our litmus test. Some of his satirical writing looks like reality these days. When you have someone like Cheney who talks about endless war or war that might last fifty years, he could be Big Brother. You have Bush incessantly going on about the evil ones.
John Pilger
