Quote by Kurt Vonnegut, Mother Night
There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, I said, but no good reason ever to have without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too. Where's evil? It's that large part of every man that wants to hate without limit, that wants to hate with God on its side. It's that part of every man that finds all kinds of ugliness so attractive.
Summary

The concept of evil is identified as the inherent human tendency to desire boundless hate and find attraction in all forms of ugliness. In essence, the quote emphasizes the importance of recognizing the limitations of righteousness in fighting and avoiding the lure of unrestrained hatred.
