Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

I do all the evil I can before I learn to shun it? Is it not enough to know the evil to shun it? If not, we should be sincere enough to admit that we love evil too well to give it up.

I do all the evil I can before I learn to shun it? Is it not

Summary

This quote highlights the idea that before we can fully reject or avoid something evil, we may first engage in it. The author questions whether merely recognizing the presence of evil is sufficient to avoid it and suggests that if we keep indulging in it, it signifies a certain fondness or attachment to evil that prevents us from letting it go. The quote emphasizes the need for honesty and self-reflection in acknowledging our own shortcomings and desires, and questioning whether we truly want to relinquish those tendencies.

To write a story about New York that only deals with people in your age and socioeconomic bracket, that feels dishonest to me. So much of New York comes from everyone bumping into each other.
