Beauty and ugliness, good and evil are inherently related

In the past, I disliked all the ugly, evil, and negative things, avoided them, ignored them, and showed the positive energy and the positive side as much as possible.

Gradually, I have seen more and understood more, and only then began to face the ugliness in human nature that we cannot ignore. The world cannot be all good. Tai Chi diagrams and ancient Eastern and Western philosophies have long told us that good and evil must be lingering. If there is a good, there must be a corresponding evil, so that the world is balanced and wonderful. It's no wonder that Plato asked in his Utopia that artists only create evil, because only in this way can they show goodness.

The Devil's Advocate quotes

  • Kevin Lomax: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I know you've spent all morning listening to Mr. Broygo talk; I know you're hungry; what I need to tell you won't take very long at all. I don't like Alexander Cullen. I don't think he's a nice person. I don't expect you to like him. He's been a terrible husband to all three of his wives; he's been a destructive force in the lives of his stepchildren; he's cheated the city, his partners, his employees. He's paid hundreds of thousands of dollas in penalties and fines over the years. I don't like him. I'm going to tell you some things during the course of this trial that are going to make you like him even less. But this isn't a popularity contest; it's a murder trial.

  • John Milton: And as we're straddling from one deal to the next, who's got his eye on the planet, as the air thickens, the water sours, and even the bees' honey takes on the metallic taste of radioactivity? And it just keeps coming, faster and faster. There's no chance to think, to prepare; it's buy futures, sell futures, when there is no future.
