“Indignation is a submission of our thoughts, but not of our desires.”

Henry Louis Mencken
“What arouses the indignation of the honest satirist is not, unless the man is a prig, the fact that people in positions of power or influence behave idiotically, or even that they behave wickedly. It is that they conspire successfully to impose upon the public a picture of themselves as so very sagacious, honest and well-intentioned.”
Claud Cockburn
“Children of the future AgeReading this indignant page,Know that in a former timeLove! sweet Love! was thought a crime.”
William Blake
“Not on a paper run by a media conglomerate, ... And the public may not react with the same indignation.”
Carl Bernstein
“America has lost its capacity for being indignant, ... Where has our capacity for indignation gone? When a nation loses its respect for the Constitution and its treaties, what is next? And leaving even that aside, the next American serviceman who is being tortured -- and we can't go to his rescue -- will show us exactly what we have done.”
Cherif Bassiouni
“A puritan is a person who pours righteous indignation into the wrong things.”
G. K. Chesterton
