“The old endless chain of love, tolerance, indifference, aversion and disgust”
“Love turns, with little indulgence, to indifference or disgust: hatred alone is immortal.”
“I regard you with an indifference closely bordering on aversion.”
“Man can start with aversion and end with love, but if he begins with love and comes round to aversion he will never get back to love.”
“Pure good soon grows insipid, wants variety and spirit. Pain is a bittersweet, which never surfeits. Love turns, with a little indulgence, to indifference or disgust. Hatred alone is immortal.”
“Only a person with convictions has a genuine possibility to be tolerant. He who accepts no absolute values but clings to polite doubt cannot be tolerant but merely indifferent. He is morally defenseless in the face of evil.”
