Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And when you look long into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you. FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE, Beyond Good and Evil

Apathy and evil. The two work hand in hand. They are the same, really.... Evil wills it. Apathy allows it. Evil hates the innocent and the defenseless most of all. Apathy doesn't care as long as it's not personally inconvenienced. JAKE THOENE, Shaiton's Fire

Apathy is the glove in which evil slips its hand. ANONYMOUS

All things truly wicked start from an innocence. ERNEST HEMINGWAY, A Moveable Feast

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. EDMUND BURKE

Why was so much evil pleasant, pretty on the outside, like poisoned candy? LAURELL K. HAMILTON

Those who choose not to empathize enable real monsters, for without ever committing an act of outright evil ourselves we collude with it through our apathy. J. K. ROWLING, speech, Jun. 5, 2008

Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from a religious conviction. BLAISE PASCAL

Love is the medicine of all moral evil. By it the world is to be cured of sin. HENRY WARD BEECHER

Evil lurks in the heart of man, and anonymity tends to bring it out. Internet flamers would never say the jagged things they do if they had to sign their names. GARRISON KEILLOR, "Renouncing Evil Powers and Anonymity," A Prairie Home Companion, Jan. 12, 2010

Conquer thy own evils before you judge others. EDWARD COUNSEL, Maxims
