Quote by Makiia Lucier

“Bad men are capable of generous acts. It's a rare person who is completely evil. The reverse is also true. A good man may commit a terrible thing and spend the rest of his life trying to set things right.”

“I still don't know where the evil comes from that makes men bestial to others like you have told" . . . . "Perhaps it is because you have so little evil in yourself." "No, no, I do not think so. That is not what I meant at all. I do not believe that ordinary men have this evil. Perhaps it is like a fever that blows in the air, like cholera, like the plague; it blows in the air and settles on men -- or a town -- or a nation -- and everyone in it, or nearly everyone, falls a victim.”
