“I can't decide whether I'm a good girl wrapped up in a bad girl, or if I'm a bad girl wrapped up in a good girl. And that's how I know I'm a woman!”
― C. JoyBell C.

“By then I knew that everything good and bad left an emptiness when it stopped. But if it was bad, the emptiness filled up by itself. If it was good you could only fill it by finding something better.”
― Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast

“There was only one guy in the whole Bible Jesus ever personally promised a place with him in Paradise. Not Peter, not Paul, not any of those guys. He was a convicted thief, being executed. So don't knock the guys on death row. Maybe they know something you don't.”
― Neil Gaiman, American Gods

“Man cries, his tears dry up and run out. So he becomes a devil, reduced to a monster.”
― Kouta Hirano

“She tries to be a good person. But deep down she knows she is a bad person, corrupted, wrong, and all her efforts to be right, to have the right opinions, to say the right things, these efforts only disguise what is buried inside her, the evil part of herself.”
― Sally Rooney, Normal People

“YOU HAVE TO BE STRONG ENOUGH TO BE WEAK

Allow yourself to feel whatever you are feeling. Notice any labels you attach to crying or feeling vulnerable. Let go of the labels. Just feel what you are feeling, all the while cultivating moment-to-moment awareness, riding the waves of “upâ€� and “down,â€� “goodâ€� and “bad,â€� “weakâ€� and “strong,â€� until you see that they are all inadequate to fully describe your experience. Be with the experience itself. Trust in your deepest strength of all: to be present, to be wakeful.”

“Let us dedicate this new era to mothers around the world, and also to the mother of all mothers -- Mother Earth. It is up to us to keep building bridges to bring the world closer together, and not destroy them to divide us further apart. We can pave new roads towards peace simply by understanding other cultures. This can be achieved through traveling, learning other languages, and interacting with others from outside our borders. Only then will one truly discover how we are more alike than different. Never allow language or cultural traditions to come between brothers and sisters. The same way one brother may not like his sister's choice of fashion or hairstyle, he will never hate her for her personal style or music preference. If you judge a man, judge only his heart. And if you should do so, make sure you use the truth in your conscience when weighing one's character. Do not measure anybody strictly based on the bad you see in them and ignore all the good.”
― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

“Your realm? This is the Guardian’s and you’re just playing in his. You are nothing but a fragment of his world. A piece of it.”

“Was it always to be like this? she wondered. A moment of joy followed by a new sorrow?”
― Soheir Khashoggi, Nadia's Song

“A beam or pillar can be used to batter down a city wall, but it is no good for stopping up a little hole - this refers to a difference in function. Thoroughbreds like Qiji and Hualiu could gallop a thousand li in one day, but when it came to catching rats they were no match for the wildcat or the weasel - this refers to a difference in skill. The horned owl catches fleas at night and can spot the tip of a hair, but when daylight comes, no matter how wide it opens its eyes, it cannot see a mound or a hill - this refers to a difference in nature. Now do you say, that you are going to make Right your master and do away with Wrong, or make Order your master and do away with Disorder? If you do, then you have not understood the principle of heaven and earth or the nature of the ten thousand things. This is like saying that you are going to make Heaven your master and do away with Earth, or make Yin your master and do away with Yang. Obviously it is impossible.”
― Zhuangzi, The Complete Works of Chuang Tzu

“..we'll deal with it, because the good outweighs the bad.”
― E. Lockhart, The Treasure Map of Boys: Noel, Jackson, Finn, Hutch, Gideon—and me, Ruby Oliver

“The mirrors in her heart open as if for the first time. Reflected light shines between them like sunlight on the surface of the sea.”
― Sally Ann Hunter, Transfigured Sea

“If you feel you are right all the time, you will feel lonesome after some time.”
― Amit Kalantri, Wealth of Words

“Truman Capote : What is your own sense of morality? How do you differentiate between good and bad?

Robert Beausoleil (a close associate of Charles Manson) : Good and bad? It’s all good. If it happens, it’s got to be good. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be happening. It’s just the way life flows. Moves together. I move with it. I don’t question it.”
― Truman Capote, Music for Chameleons

“When you lie and do wrongs to others, you lie and do wrongs to yourself. That is why it is impossible to escape karma, in the long term.”
― Jack Freestone

“True Evil only comes from corrupting something truly good.”
― dread doctors

“Life can’t ever be all bad or all good. You know, eventually, things have to come back to the middle.”
― Scott McCall

“I find dogs better than humans. I like them more, in fact. Is there something the matter with me? Could be. May be, at heart, I too am a dog. At least I am not inhumane like most humans. What say you, dawgs?”
― fakeer ishavardas

“Good ones will think good; bad ones bad.”
― Ehsan Sehgal

“Spiritual does not equate to 'goodness'. The sooner that is understood, the better. It’s much more complex than that.”
― Robin S. Baker

“2:9. tree of knowledge of good and bad. Not good and "evil," as this is usually understood and translated. "Evil" suggests that this is strictly moral knowledge. But the Hebrew word (°ùÄå') has a much wider range of meaning than that.”
― Richard Elliott Friedman, Commentary on the Torah

“Want to be perfect, learn both good and bad.”
― P.S. Jagadeesh Kumar

“Mind-reading is only a human's magical ability and knowledge to figure out someone's thoughts, emotions, and body language. While spiritual inspiration comes from divine lights towards blessed people, there is also evil inspiration. Between those, one has to use his wisdom to see and feel good and bad.”
― Ehsan Sehgal

“If the good people leave, doesn’t that make everything worse?”
― Claudia Gray, Lost Stars

“Some of those now hearing me will, before this time next year, do things which, if whispered to them now, would call forth the angry retort: Is thy servant a dog, that he should do this thing? On the other hand, there are those who will, within a year, perform acts of heroic faith and love which they would not now believe though a man should show them unto them. We never know what is in us, or what manner of men we are, till the trial comes.”
― James Stalker, The Four Men

“You came here [to this life] to enjoy the fullness of the creative experience. [Both smooth and rough patches]. In the process, any growth you experience adds to the growth of humanity as a whole.

What better way could there be for humans to evolve than in an environment of [contrasting experiences; dark and light] where free will stretches and pulls against rigid rules? This creative tension results in an inner urge to progress ever onward, ever upward, through winding curves and over the occasional whoop-de-doos.”
― Suzanne Giesemann, The Awakened Way: Making the Shift to a Divinely Guided Life

“All [things in the world, good and bad] arise from [Source, from] one indivisible field, one Wholeness. Nothing is left out. [...]

When you flow with what life puts in your path [and resist nothing], you take in every bit of [life, and of Source], bumps and all. In allowing the entirety of what presents itself, fullness replaces the emptiness. Disappointments, failure, rejections - all are part of a tapestry that no longer has holes in it. [...]

When you [make peace with and accept life in its fullness, good and bad], you find what you've unwittingly been looking for all along: wholeness.”
― Suzanne Giesemann, The Awakened Way: Making the Shift to a Divinely Guided Life

“And God said, “Let there be light,â€� and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,â€� and the darkness he called “night.â€� And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.”
― God, Holy Bible

“He was good and then really good and then bad and then really bad, but since he was good I got lost in the thought that I could fix it.”
― Dominic Riccitello
