Verbatim quote · from the corpus

“Injustice is the core representation or idea of resentment, which gives rise to its feeling (anger, rage, depression...). We feel injustice if and only if we consider ourselves capable in principle–perhaps not in practical reality–of justifying this sentiment.”

— Eric Gans, Resentment, or the Sense of Injustice · Saturday, December 2nd, 2000 · Chronicles of Love & Resentment
