Dividing line between Good and Evil

During the life of any heart this line [dividing good and evil within the heart] keeps changing place; sometimes it is squeezed one way by exuberant evil and sometimes it shifts to allow enough space for good to flourish. One and the same human being is, at various ages, under various circumstances, a totally different human being. At times he is close to being a devil, at times to sainthood. But his name doesn't change, and to that name we ascribe the whole lot, good and evil.

"The Bluecaps", The Gulag Archipelago, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
