I got my concept of evil from John Steinbeck's "East of Eden"--one of my favorite books

3. "I believe there are monsters born in the world to human parents. . . . The
face and body may be perfect, but if a twisted gene or a malformed egg can
produce physical monsters, may not the same process produce a malformed soul?"
p. 72
