"Like secondhand smoke, the leakage of emotions can make a bystander an innocent casualty of someone else's toxic state."

Previous Quote

If I sit next to a madman as he drives a car into a group of innocent bystanders, I can't, as a Christian, simply wait for the catastrophe, then comfort the wounded and bury the dead. I must try to wrestle the steering wheel out of the hands of the driver.

— Dietrich Bonhoeffer
