A. S. Byatt
I busked a few times in Asheville, North Carolina, when I was 18. It was terrifying. I was probably just trying to meet girls.

Aaron Neville
I worked with the Neville Brothers for 40-some years on the highway, and up and down since I can remember - funk from New Orleans.
So now I have a collection of poetry by Aaron Neville and I give it to people I want to share it with. I'd like to publish it someday.
It's just this little comedy about this group of guys, and their local hangout is a pool hall, and it's starting to get taken over by this big corporate, evil kind of guy. And it's just about them trying to save the day and their little pool hall in the process of it all. It's called 'Think Tank.'
Aaron Ruell

Everything doesn't happen for a reason, if by this we mean evil is a part of God's plan. But God does ensure that evil will not prevail and that light will always, ultimately, overcome the darkness. If we follow God's lead, our work is to push back the darkness.
God seldom suspends the laws of nature, just as God does not remove free will to keep evil people from doing evil things.
I suspect that here theists and atheists would agree: Human beings have within them the ability to choose evil or good. We wake up each day facing the age-old struggle of good and evil. In some situations, mental illness clouds our judgment.
If 'everything happens for a reason,' then every act of evil is ultimately God's doing.
While some misuse their freedom to perpetrate evil, millions respond by feeling compelled to use their freedom to do good.
I think there is a complicated side effect to overcoming evil in that we are forever changed by it. I think after we ingest some of the cruelty of the world, it takes years off of our lives, but it also gives us wisdom and a little grace, hopefully a sense of compassion.
I wouldn't say jamie is an evil genius. I'm not sure he's evil and I'm not sure he's a genius.

There is no evil in the atom; only in men's souls.

To be free from evil thoughts is God's best gift.
I would rather be ignorant than knowledgeable of evils.
My friends, whoever has had experience of evils knows how whenever a flood of ills comes upon mortals, a man fears everything; but whenever a divine force cheers on our voyage, then we believe that the same fate will always blow fair.
The evils of mortals are manifold; nowhere is trouble of the same wing seen.
If a man suffers ill, let it be without shame; for this is the only profit when we are dead. You will never say a good word about deeds that are evil and disgraceful.
Destroy the seed of evil, or it will grow up to your ruin.
Somewhere down the line, the evil ones stole the legacy of hip hop and flipped it to a corporate type of hip hop. They decided to tell everybody 'Well, this is what hip hop is,' instead of coming back to the pioneers and getting the true definition of what hip hop is and what it was and what we been pushing for all these years.
Evil is not something superhuman, it's something less than human.

Evil is the interruption of a truth by the pressure of particular or individual interests.
Evil is the moment when I lack the strength to be true to the Good that compels me.
