I believe there is one story in the world, and only one, that has inspired and frightened us. Humans are caught-in their lives, in their thoughts, in their hungers and ambitions, in their greediness and cruelty, and in their kindness and generosity too-in a net of good and evil

There in no other story. A man will have only one question left at the end of his life: was it good or was it evil? And all novels, all poetry, are built on the never-ending contest in ourselves between good and evil
