Just a quote from “Gimpel the Fool”:

Early on in the story, as the butt of many a joke and trick in his town, Gimpel seeks advice from the rabbi, who tells the poor man:

“It is written, better to be a fool all our days than for one hour to be evil. You are not a fool. They are the fools. For he who causes his neighbor to feel shame loses Paradise himself.”

One of my prized possessions is a signed copy of one of Singer’s novels.
