About This Quote
The meaning of the saying, “I was good and bad, but never wicked” is that people are rarely completely good or evil. Instead, people are complex beings with complex motives. It’s important to note that it’s not that people are simply rejecting the idea of being evil or good altogether. Instead, they are rejecting the idea that someone who is good is not also capable of being bad. That’s too simplistic of a view.
