The passions should be purged; all may become innocent if they are well directed and moderated. Even hatred maybe a commendable feeling when it is caused by a lively love of good. Whatever makes the passions pure, makes them stronger, more durable, and more enjoyable.
Joseph JoubertToday there are no more irreconcilable enmities, because there are no more disinterested emotions: that's a good thing born from a bad thing.
