More From Richard Powers

When one has once accepted and absorbed evil, it no longer demands the unfitness of the means. the ulterior motives with which youabsorb and assimilate evil are not your own but those of evil.... evil is whatever distracts. evil knows of the good, but good does not know of evil. knowledge of oneself is something only evil has. one means that evil has is the dialogue.... one cannot pay evil in installments--and one always keeps on trying to.
Mean Evil Trying
Sin is a refusal to grow, a refusal to love, a refusal to get committed, to be concerned, and to take risks.
Risk Sin Refusal
Any refusal to recognize reality, for any reason whatever, has disastrous consequences. there are no evil thoughts except one: the refusal to think. don't ignore your own desires.... don't sacrifice them. examine their cause. there is a limit to how much you should have to bear.
Sacrifice Thinking Reality
Annihilation itself is no death to evil. only good where evil was, is evil dead. an evil thing must live with its evil until it chooses to be good. that alone is the slaying of evil.
Evil Slaying Annihilation
The problem of good and evil is not the problem of good and evil, but only the problem of evil. in opposition to good there are evil characters, but there are no good characters in opposition to evil. evil is arguable, but good is not. therefore the devil always wins the argument.
Character Winning Evil
...to be a poet, requires a mythology of the self. the self described is the poet self, to which the daily self (and others) are often ruthlessly sacrificed. the poet self is the real self, the other one is the carrier; and when the poet self dies, the person dies.
