The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil.
The most radical revolutionary will become a conservative the day after the revolution.
Only crime and the criminal, it is true, confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really rotten to the core.
