Finally found a quote I've half-remembered for a long time.
"...Thus even as Eru spoke to us shall beauty not before conceived be brought into Eä, and evil yet be good to have been." But Mandos said: "And yet remain evil..."
The Silmarillion, J.R.R. Tolkien
(Eru is God, and Eä is Earth)

I'm very impressed by your knowing the Silmarillion well enough to half-remember stuff from it. Beautiful quote.
Actually I don't know it very well - I've only read it once - but that stuck in my mind. It seems to explain confusing theological stuff!
