“But remember, "don't be overcome with evil — overcome evil with good."”
Ysabella Brave (1979) American singer
"Self Esteem" (31 May 2007) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNBgCKvjrb4 <br class="br">Context: I've been asked by a lot of new YouTube people or other singers — all kinds of professions, frankly, as to whether I feel very successful and very loved now that I've got bup-up-up-up subscribers and however many nice comments and sweetness, and I really, really do! I was thinking going into this that the odds were against me — you're online, there's this anonymity, people are mean sometimes, and still considering all that, it's overwhelming the sweetness and the affection that I am getting — I'm every day impressed by this — every day! And there are a lot of horrible, horrible people on here, just like there is in the rest of the world. But remember, "don't be overcome with evil — overcome evil with good."
“Evil begins when you begin to treat people as things.”
