It is generally accepted that massive black holes are the most likely source for the energy radiated from active galactic nuclei, and may explain the enormous amount of energy emitted by quasars, radio galaxies, Seyfert galaxies, and BL Lacertid objects. Although the detailed mechanisms of the black hole formation in galactic nuclei are not clear at present, it seems to be quite possible that the formation of massive black holes is a general outcome of the evolution of galactic nuclei.
