Quotation"The man who does not in his heart protest against obvious baseness and does not passionately try to suppress it whenever he can is not a moral man." K. Adam. However I do not accept at all the context from which this statement comes-K. Adam's portrait of a "choleric" Jesus.
Quotation SourceA Search for Solitude: Pursuing the Monk's True Life. The Journals of Thomas Merton, Volume 3, 1952-1960.; Edited by Lawrence S. Cunningham. / San Francisco : Harper Collins. 1996, p. 131
