Evil Exists

Famous quotes containing the words evil and/or exists:

    You cannot have power for good without having power for evil too. Even mother’s milk nourishes murderers as well as heroes.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    As her sons have seen her: the mother in patriarchy: controlling, erotic, castrating, heart-suffering, guilt-ridden, and guilt-provoking; a marble brow, a huge breast, an avid cave; between her legs snakes, swampgrass, or teeth; on her lap a helpless infant or a martyred son. She exists for one purpose: to bear and nourish the son.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
