"I told you once that I was searching for the nature of evil. I think I've come close to defining it: a lack of empathy. It's the one characteristic that connects all the defendants. A genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow man. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy."
Gustave M. Gilbert



The Iliad is actually a great example for this, because the recent translation of it by Emily Wilson received a lot of praise, and I know a few people who work in that field and would of be extatic to have a signed copy of it.
