Quotes about Evil

Love reason! The love of reason will arm you against the greatest hardships.

However, evil is not uncontrolled. Because God reigns over all (Ps. 103:19), nothing happens outside of God's control and plans.

Our sufferings have meaning because God uses them for his purposes.
— Joni Eareckson Tada
The surest defense against Evil is extreme individualism, originality of thinking, whimsicality, even — if you will — eccentricity. That is, something that can't be feigned, faked, imitated; something even a seasoned impostor couldn't be happy with. Something, in other words, that can't be shared, like your own skin — not even by a minority.
— Joseph Brodsky
