Ok, I have no idea if this is the right place to post this question, but I'll try it out. :)

I'm looking for a quote for an article I'm writing. The quote says something about how man no longer needs the devil because he creates enough evil on his own. Has anyone heard this quote, or do you know who said it?

Thanks!

Ohhhh! That's probably it! Thank you! I've been looking *everywhere* for that all day! :)

I had something for this...
I have one that may be a bit more to the point, but certainly less eloquent:

"People suck".

You can use that if you want, although what Conrad said is good too! :)
