Question Evil Quote by Cody Cramer
““X “One doesn’t need to be a great hero to take down a great evil; they just need to be able to do what needs to be done.” Sara “Even so, but what happens to one who took down the great evil, if they aren’t pure of heart won’t they just repeat the cycle of great evil?” X “The question isn’t great evil; the question is… what is evil?” X pauses. X “I’ll answer that for you, Evil doesn’t exist, neither does good, it’s all opinion.””
