Quote by George Steiner

Men are accomplices to that which leaves them indifferent.

Men are accomplices to that which leaves them indifferent.

Summary

This quote suggests that when men become indifferent towards certain wrongdoings or injustices happening around them, they indirectly become accomplices to those actions. By choosing to remain passive and apathetic, they contribute to the perpetuation of these negative actions and their consequences. It highlights the importance of actively taking a stand against wrongdoing and not simply being a bystander, as even indifference can have detrimental consequences and make one complicit in the harm being done.
