I found this looking online for secondary sources:
" 'Pure' evil requires exclusion. It is evil undiluted, two hundred proof, served in an old fashioned shot glass and taken neat, without a chaser. It is all evil and nothing but evil, and its impact is unweakened as it ages."
I thought that was pretty clever and true. It goes back to what Coach Crook said about the essence of evil being too potent for us to handle.
Also, isn't there some connection here to the ideal that Evil is usually isolated, even in a crowd? Isn't there something Machiavellian here?
ReplyDeleteAlso, is the essence of good (God) too powerful for a person to witness without a buffer? How does God or Zeus usually appear to mortals?
