People Share The Greatest Quotes From The Most Terrible People

We are a quote heavy, self-help speeching society.

We thirst for leadership because honestly... life is dark and depressing.

How many books, speeches, essays and small "on the daily" quotes do we follow and take to heart?

Do you research every author of every quote?

You should. Or maybe you shouldn't.

Redditor cow780 wanted to hear some inspiration from the worst people possible. They asked:

"Reddit, what are some great quotes by terrible people?"

Just because someone has wisdom, insight and charm doesn't mean they're kind. Evil comes in all packages.

Alexis Carrel

"'To progress again, man must remake himself. And he cannot remake himself without suffering. For he is both the marble and the sculptor. In order to uncover his true visage he must shatter his own substance with heavy blows of his hammer.'"

"In the context of self-improvement it's a great quote about pushing limits and enduring pain or discomfort in order to grow. However the author of the quote Alexis Carrel was not speaking about improvement of the individual, but of humanity as a whole through eugenics and forced sterilisation of criminals, disabled people, and other 'undesirables.'"

Ruin

"'Expectations ruin relationships' - Michelle Duggar"
