“When you stopped believing in God, did you stop believing in good and evil?”
Philip Pullman His Dark Materials trilogy
"No. But I stopped believing there was a power of good and a power of evil that were outside us. And I came to believe that good and evil are names for what people do, not for what they are. All we can say is that this is a good deed, because it helps someone, or that's an evil one, because it hurts them. People are too complicated to have simple labels."
