Human Evil Quotes

“So, that was Nature's way. The mosquito felt pain and panic but the dragonfly knew nothing of cruelty. Humans would call it evil, the big dragonfly destroying the mosquito and ignoring the little insects suffering. Yet humans hated mosquitoes too, calling them vicious and bloodthirsty. All these words, words like 'evil' and 'vicious', they meant nothing to Nature. Yes, evil was a human invention.”
― John Marsden, Tomorrow, When the War Began

“Better to have a human cause for this horror. Something that could be understood by all, explained easily, brought to justice.”
― Victor LaValle, Lone Women

“Mourning the old glad days before they knew
What evil things the heart of man could dream, and dreaming do.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Collected Poems of Oscar Wilde
