People think that Israelis are mean, evil people who only want to hurt Arabs all day. – Naftali Bennett

While I’d like to make movies that are uplifting, there’s always that part of you that goes, ‘I want to play the evil guy because it’s not me.’ So anything that is not me is a challenge, and if I rise to the challenge, then I’ve kind of proved myself. – Dean O’Gorman
Likewise, education can direct people toward good or evil ends. When education is based on a fundamentally distorted worldview, the results are horrific. – Daisaku Ikeda

We are afraid of ourselves and our own unconscious minds. When we are building something that reflects us, it’s the one thing we’re all afraid to face. We’re afraid to face ourselves. Building machines that mirror our consciousness is a very frightening proposition because we have seen how evil people can be. – Gray Scott
