Ian Rankin Quote

Job, actually. I read it once a long time ago. It seems more frightening now though. The man who begins to doubt, who shouts out against his God, looking for a response, and who gets one. ‘God gave the world to the wicked,’ he says at one point, and ‘Why should I bother?’ at another. It sounds interesting. But he goes on bothering? Yes, that’s the incredible thing.
