Rick Yancey Quotes

When the people of the world all know beauty as beauty, There arises the recognition of ugliness. When they all know the good as good, There arises the recognition of evil.

Evil to some is always good to others

But there is one thing you must remember, if you forget all else. There is no good or evil, save in the way you see the world. There is no dark or light save in your own vision. All changes in the blink of an eyelid; yet all remains the same.

One and the same thing can at the same time be good, bad, and indifferent, e.g., music is good to the melancholy, bad to those who mourn, and neither good nor bad to the deaf.

The world is made up of good and evil, and everybody has their own take, and everybody thinks they are on the good side, and a very few, select group of us will admit that we come from the dark side.

The world needed a little Evil, so Good had something to compare itself to, but you couldn't let it think it had the right-of-way on the road and an invitation to dinner.

Nature and literature are subjective phenomena; every evil and every good thing is a shadow which we cast

Wisdom is known only by contrasting it with folly; by shadow only we perceive that all visible objects are not flat. Yet Philanthropos would abolish evil!

Can a man cling to the positive without any negative in contrast to which it is seen to be positive? If he claims to do so he is a rouge or a madman.

I don't believe in bad. I believe in relativity. The only way we can know what we call good is if there's also something we call bad.

So much good, so much evil. Just add water.

When everyone sees good, then bad exists.

People who have a reputation for being evil are usually good.

I've learned a lot about good and evil. They are not always what they appear to be.

I think evil is very relative.

There has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it.

The frontier between hell and heaven is only the difference between two ways of looking at things.

Even people that are evil believe what they're doing is good. I don't agree with those people, but it's about understanding that there are those kinds of points of view.

Good and evil lay side by side.

Good and Evil are very hard to explain or understand. I'm sure that evil exists, but it is hard to isolate. Good and evil are intertwined and impossible to separate. They are not completely opposites and in fact are often one and the same.

What darkness to you is light to me

Good and bad; shade and sunlight, there's but a hair's breath between them. It's all one in the end.

Good and evil go hand in hand, you can't seperate them.

Find good in what the world says is evil.

There is an old illusion. It is called good and evil.
