Phil HesterThe darkness does not flow from my being to them, but out of their hearts and into my skin. I don't inspire your evil. I never did. You offer it to me, from the gravest crime to the smallest indifference.
About This Quote
Being in the darkness with others does not bring out the darkness in me.
It is their hearts that burn for ill. It is their evil. It is they who chose to sin.
I am simply their victim.
I think of all the evils in the world, and I have but one. I have no need to pretend otherwise.
I have lived with the darkness in my skin for so long that it has become a part of me.
The darkness does not flow from my being to them, but out of their hearts and into my skin.
I don't inspire your evil. I never did. You offer it to me, from the gravest crime to the smallest indifference.
You are not interested in hearing me speak against you, for you know me already.
I asked you what you knew of me, and you replied, "I know you are a prisoner."What else did you expect? You know nothing.And yet you judge me.
"You are a prisoner," you said to me."I am a prisoner," I told you."Then why do they allow you outside your cell?"
t's simply because they don't care what happens to "you"."Why?"
"Because they want "me" gone.
