" As a forensic psychologist, I have met killers and psychopaths and sociopaths, but I refuse to define people as being good or evil. Wrongdoing is an absence of something good rather than something fated, or written in our DNA, or forced upon us by shitty parents, or careless teachers, or cruel friendships. Evil is not a state, it is a ‘property’, and when a person is in possession of enough ‘property’, it sometimes begins to define them. "

" Grab my hand, I’ll lift you out,” but the man waves to him and says, “God will save me.” Finally, a helicopter hovers overhead and a crewman throws down a rope ladder. The drowning man ignores the offer, saying, “Don’t worry, God will save me.” Moments later he crashes over the waterfall and perishes on the rocks below. Later, at the Gates of Heaven, he says to God, “Hey, didn’t you see me down there? Why didn’t you save me?” And God replies, “I tried three times, but you turned me away. "
