“Nothing can be loved or hated unless it is first understood.”
“The acquisition of knowledge is always of use to the intellect, because it may thus drive out useless things and retain the good. For nothing can be loved or hated unless it is first known.”
“You can never hate strongly unless you have loved strongly.”
“Mortals have always exaggerated the difference between hate and love. Both come from the heart. You can never hate strongly unless you have loved strongly.”
“Nothing happens unless first a dream.”
“All men kill the thing they hate, too, unless, of course, it kills them first.”
