More From Erin Gruwell

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
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
There's always the same amount of good luck and bad luck in the world. if one person doesn't get the bad luck, somebody else will have to get it in their place. there's always the same amount of good and evil, too. we can't eradicate evil, we can only evict it, force it to move across town. and when evil moves, some good always goes with it. but we can never alter the ratio of good to evil. all we can do is keep things stirred up so neither good nor evil solidifies. that's when things get scary. life is like a stew, you have to stir it frequently, or all the scum rises to the top.
Moving Good Luck Evil
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
In this world, there is no absolute good, no absolute evil," the man said. "good and evil are not fixed, stable entities, but are continually trading places. a good may be transformed into an evil in the next second. and vice versa. such was the way of the world that dostoevsky depicted in the brothers karamazov. the most important thing is to maintain the balance between the constantly moving good and evil. if you lean too much in either direction, it becomes difficult to maintain actual morals. indeed, balance itself is the good.
Brother Moving Men
The worst feature of this double consciousness is, that the two lives, of the understanding and of the soul, which we lead, reallyshow very little relation to each other; never meet and measure each other: one prevails now, all buzz and din; and the other prevails then, all infinitude and paradise; and, with the progress of life, the two discover no greater disposition to reconcile themselves.
