“It is indeed my opinion now that #evil is never ‘radical’, that it is only extreme, and that it possesses neither depth nor any demonic dimension. It can overgrow and lay waste the whole world precisely because it spreads like a fungus on the surface.”
Hannah #Arendt to Gershom #Scholem after the #Eichmann trial in #1964. (h/t John #Ganz)
