"Dalek mutants are born hating. This is what stokes the fire — extinguishes even the tiniest bit of kindness, of compassion. Imagine the worst possible thing in the whole universe, and then don't bother, because you're looking at it right now! This is evil refined!"
— The Doctor, Doctor Who, "Into the Dalek"
It's like they drained out all the water and made concentrated evil!
— Angie Lopez, The George Lopez Show, on Bennie
Picard: A great poet once said, all spirits are enslaved that serve things evil.
Armus: You do not understand. I do not serve things evil, I AM evil. [...] I am a skin of evil, left here by a race of titans, who believed if they rid themselves of me, they would free the bounds of destructiveness."

"Justin is — or those things inside Justin — are evil. And I mean that as a noun, not an adjective. They're the kind of physical manifestation that could only have been spawned by the Devil himself."
— Big Jim Sullivan, John Dies at the End
"Diablo is evil in its purest form."
— Diablo's ending, Primal Rage
"Pure evil doesn't exist. People can only be evil insofar as making evil decisions—possessing an intent to harm or cause suffering. Evil actions. Even people who do evil things purely for the sake of amusement are still human. They're twisted, sure. They have evil tendencies, but they still aren't MADE of evil. But... Geoffrey's aura... I can't think of any other way to describe it. It was like an evil consciousness."
— Garovel, The Zombie Knight
"A haunted house is a house with ghosts in it, the spirits of people who've died, but the spirits living in a house possessed never existed in human form. They've only existed in spirit form. They're pure evil. They're demons!"
— Angela, Night of the Demons (1988)
Alignment is an essential part of the nature of celestials and fiends. A devil does not choose to be Lawful Evil, and it doesn't tend toward lawful evil, but rather it is lawful evil in its essence. If it somehow ceased to be lawful evil, it would cease to be a devil.
— Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition
"Our Dark Lord is evil because he is pure evil and probably made of evil, because evil is a substance now apparently."
— Terrible Writing Advice, "DARK LORDS"
