Evil Force

Famous quotes containing the words evil and/or force:

“One impulse from a vernal wood
May teach you more of man,
Of moral evil and of good,
Than all the sages can.”

“As nature requires whirlwinds and cyclones to release its excessive force in a violent revolt against its own existence, so the spirit requires a demonic human being from time to time whose excessive strength rebels against the community of thought and the monotony of morality ... only by looking at those beyond its limits does humanity come to know its own utmost limits.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
