Human Evil

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or evil:

    That only needs a finger touch from God
    To spring it like a deadfall and the fault
    In nature would wipe out all human fault.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Despair is the price one pays for setting oneself an impossible aim. It is, one is told, the unforgivable sin, but it is a sin the corrupt or evil man never practises. He always has hope. He never reaches the freezing-point of knowing absolute failure. Only the man of goodwill carries always in his heart this capacity for damnation.
    Graham Greene (1904–1991)
