“Why does evil exist? Simple: it’s part of the dialectic of existence. It’s inevitable and necessary. In many ways, evil – and overcoming it – is the whole point of existence. How else do we become divine exemplars if we don’t overcome all the worst things in ourselves and in others?”

“There is such a thing as evil in this world [...] It does not help to look away from it. It does not even help necessarily to look at it. [...] But sometimes, when you cannot force the world to come to its senses, you must settle only for wiping away some of the small evils in front of you.”

“I may have come close, but I never had what you had. Something always held me back or stood in the way. How you live your life is your business. But remember, our hearts and our bodies are given to us only once. Most of us can't help but live as though we've got two lives to live, one is the mockup, the other the finished version, and then there are all those versions in between. But there's only one, and before you know it, your heart is worn out, and, as for your body, there comes a point when no one looks at it, much less wants to come near it. Right now there's sorrow. I don't envy the pain. But I envy you the pain.”
