I have tried sedulously not to laugh at the acts of man, nor to lament them, nor to detest them, but to understand them.
Baruch SpinozaIf a man had begun to hate an object of his love, so that love is thoroughly destroyed, he will, causes being equal, regard it with more hatred than if he had never loved it, and his hatred will be in proportion to the strength of his former love.
Baruch Spinoza
