Good and evil

Quirrell tells Harry that "There is no good and evil, there is only power, and those too weak to seek it" (p. 291). Do you agree with this? Is this the reality of the world? Or if good and evil do exist, what makes them so? Which is more important in the world, power, or good and evil?

I think there are a lot of people that do believe that. I don't. Good of course is more important than power.

I belive there is a good and evil, but I kind of undertand this comment. We are all made the same and can become potentially, good or evil. We decide.

That almost sounds like it could be a line from "1984"! Selfish and evil people believe they must have power because then they have control over everyone and everthing. Good is the most important thing...the greatest power, really!
