All MARGARET ATWOOD Quotes about “Evil”

“Stupidity is the same as evil if you judge by the results.”
“If you disagree with your government, that's political. If you disagree with your government that is approaching theocracy, then you're evil.”

“Canada, at the moment, is going through a Lord of the Rings moment. Having been a lowly Hobbit with furry feet and fun parties, with fireworks and beer, it has now been handed the Ring of Power: a large supply of fossil fuel, in the form of oil/tar sand and coal. Will it shrivel into an evil RingWraith? Will it become an addicted Golum? Will it refuse the Ring, like Galadriel, fearful of what So Much Power (in both senses of the word) will do to its inner being? Will it try to deal with the Ring responsibly, like Gandalf? Will it side with the Ents?”
