Evil and Anger

The knowledge of evil is something which the first man acquired; it was not something that the prophets had to discover. Their great contribution to humanity was the discovery of the evil of indifference. One may be decent and sinister, pious and sinful. I am my brother's keeper. One of the meanings of the anger of God: the end of indifference!
- Abraham Joshua Heschel -
