“Good can still exist when bad things happen, just as evil persists when good things happen.” - Carter to Georgina”

“Don’t try to make life a mathematics problem with yourself in the center and everything coming out equal. When you’re good, bad things can still happen. And if you’re bad, you can still be lucky.”

“… good things happen to the human spirit when it is left alone.”

“Many of the good things would never have happened if the bad events hadn't happened first.”

“Everything is evil. I mean, everything that is, is wicked; every existing thing is an evil; everything exists for a wicked end. Existence is a wickedness and is ordained for wickedness. Evil is the end, the final purpose, of the universe…The only good is nonbeing; the only really good thing is the thing that is not, things that are not things; all things are bad.”

“A wise man can never be disappointed of whatever happens. It is only a change that makes things good and bad. And life is meant for change every second to keep the standard of existence.”

“There are three things that can happen when you throw a pass, and two of them are bad.”

“When you do the right thing, good stuff has a way of happening.”

“bad things, like good things don't happen any more often than they ought to by chance. the universe has no mind, no feelings, and no personality, so it doesn't do things in order to either hurt or please you. bad things happen because things happen.”

“Bad things are not the worst things that an happen to us. NOTHING is the worst thing that can happen to us.”
