Evil Quote by Robert E. Keller

“Every culture is different--how they think, feel, love, hate, kill, worship, reason, or create. You want to see good and evil in simple terms--universal terms. But the universe doesn't work that way. What is evil and corrupt to some is good and wholesome to others.” quote by Robert E. Keller
