Is there evil but on earth? or pain in every peopled sphere?
Alfred (Lord) Tennyson
I judge things from an evolutionary perspective — "How does this serve and contribute to the process of our own evolution?" — rather than think of good and evil in moral terms. I see the triumph of good over evil as a manifestation of the error-correcting process of evolution.
Jonas Salk
When she opened her eyes, Veronika did not think "this must be heaven". Heaven would never use a fluorescent tube to light a room, and the pain — which started a fraction of a second later — was typical of the Earth. Ah, that Earth pain — unique, unmistakable.
Paulo Coelho
"I stood on a stone fish once." "Oh yeah, how was it?" "Worst f**king pain known to man." "Have you known a lot of pain?" "Aye, I fell off my bike once."
Billy Connolly
I could see many of the younger Counsellors start back in manifest horror, as the Sphere's circular section widened before them. But on a sign from the presiding Circle — who shewed not the slightest alarm or surprise — six Isosceles of a low type from six different quarters rushed upon the Sphere. "We have him," they cried; "No; yes; we have him still! he's going! he's gone!"
