A Quote by Abraham Joshua Heschel

The opposite of good is not evil, the opposite of good is indifference. — © Abraham Joshua Heschel
The opposite of good is not evil, the opposite of good is indifference.
The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.
If you just open your dictionary, "morality" is the sense that separates good from evil. And if you really want to see what evil is, it just says that "evil is the opposite of good." And if you ask "Then what is good?" it says that it's the opposite of evil.
The opposite of love is not hate, but indifference. Indifference creates evil. Hatred is evil itself. Indifference is what allows evil to be strong, what gives it power.
Good is not the opposite of evil, joy is the opposite of evil.
Goodness has no opposite. Most of us consider goodness as the opposite of the bad or evil and so throughout history in any culture goodness has been considered the other face of that which is brutal. So man has always struggled against evil in order to be good; but goodness can never come into being if there is any form of violence or struggle.
The opposite of love is indifference, and the opposite of happiness is boredom.
Good and Evil are opposite points on a circle, Dr. Chiver. Greater good is just halfway back to Bad.
I love the smell of the Earth. I'm a good cook my friends say. I love cooking for my friends. So I'm totally the opposite of being evil. I think only if you're a good person can you be very evil onscreen.
The opposite of good is not evil; it's apathy.
At first I assumed hate was the opposite of love. But it isn't. The opposite of love is indifference.
I'm just trying to do the opposite of left, as long as there's the opposite of death, ya know Yes, ya test and I just might bring the opposite of life, til' there's no one the opposite of right
It is not true that good can follow only from good and evil only from evil, but that often the opposite is true.
It is not true that good can only follow from good and evil only from evil, but that often the opposite is true.
I think of moral beauty as what is the good and the just - terms perhaps best defined by their opposite: evil. Evil is the willingness to do damage to the other; its maximal expression is murder, but it includes a great deal of subtle and not-so-subtle injuries as it advances to that extreme. Evil acts reduce the other to an object, a being to its component parts, and obliterate subjectivity. Evil's breeding ground is a lack of empathy.
Good and evil are merely opposite sides of a coin. Get tossed in the air enough, it's easy to come down on the wrong side.
People are always warning me that I'm going to burn out. But the truth is, the only thing that tires me out is hearing people tell me that. Opposite shows, opposite coasts, opposite demographics, opposite everything - I love it, man!
