“It is easier to denature plutonium than to denature the evil spirit of man.”
Albert Einstein
“The real problem is in the hearts and minds of men. It is easier to denature plutonium than to denature the evil spirit of man.”
“We need more understanding of human nature, because the only real danger that exists is man himself . . . We know nothing of man, far too little. His psyche should be studied because we are the origin of all coming evil.”
Carl Gustav Jung
“Men become old, but they never become good”
Oscar Wilde
“Some quirk in human nature allows even the most unspeakable acts of evil to become banal within minutes, provided that they occur far enough away to pose no personal threat”
Iris Chang
“A man receiving charity always hates his benefactor- it is a fixed characteristic of human nature”
George Orwell
“The only thing that one really knows about human nature is that it changes. Change is the one quality we can predicate of it. The systems that fail are those that rely on the permanency of human nature, and not on its growth and development. The error of Louis XIV was that he thought human nature would always be the same. The result of his error was the French Revolution. It was an admirable result.”
