Quote by Lloyd Alexander
It is easy to judge evil unmixed, replied Gwydion. But, alas, in most of us good and bad are closely woven as the threads on a loom; greater wisdom than mine is needed for the judging.
Summary
This quote highlights the complexity of human nature, stating that it is simplistic to categorize people as entirely good or entirely evil. Gwydion argues that within each individual, there exists a mixture of both positive and negative qualities, comparable to the intertwining threads on a loom. Gwydion acknowledges that this complexity makes it difficult to pass judgment on others, suggesting that a deeper understanding and greater wisdom are necessary to make fair assessments of a person's character.
