“A man will commit almost any wrong,—he will heap up an immense pile of wickedness, as hard as granite, and which will weigh as heavily upon his soul, to eternal ages,—only to build a great, gloomy, dark-chambered mansion, for him to die in, and for his posterity to be miserable in. He lays his own dead corpse beneath the underpinning, as one may say, and hangs his frowning picture on the wall, and, after thus converting himself into an evil destiny, expects his remotest great-grandchildren to be happy there!”

“When there are no valid explanations for the masses, they automatically turn to blame: either one another or the devil. The fact is evil may exist but it came from somewhere. When I worked as a counselor, all it took was for me to sit and spend time with someone long enough to assess the situation, only to find out how they became the way they were. We call people monsters but they were made; either by their home life or the culture around them. It's not supernatural, it's cultural. Until it's acknowledged and faced, nothing will change. When we have politicians aided by media and corporate moguls with money and "power" that influence the culture in directions that are making society sick, there you will have a society in decline and lots of bad things will follow.”
