Edmund Burke

Posted on by Rick Anderson

whispering crane institute, rick andersonSaw this quote tonight, it seems to have really struck something in me.

So much sadness and hate and violence, including the Cleveland woman who killed her small child by “scalding her baby to death”.

I suppose I would be remiss if I didn’t say I was feeling in quite the melancholy mood.

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”  – Edmund Burke

  2. i love you and your work and your blog, thank you from all of us self taught quasi-designers out here. On the above quote, anything is true in one dimension or another, but evil will not triumph for it, like all things will fulfill the purpose for which it was created, our perfection and reunion. Thanks
