Quote by Virgil

Evil is nourished and grows by concealment.

Evil is nourished and grows by concealment.

Summary

This quote suggests that evil thrives in secrecy and hidden intentions. When evil actions or intentions are kept invisible, they are allowed to flourish and expand. By concealing these dark aspects, there is no accountability, and the negative forces are able to feed off the unexposed truth. However, once evil is exposed to the light, it loses its fuel and potency. Therefore, this quote emphasizes the importance of uncovering and revealing evil in order to diminish its power and prevent further growth.
