"Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers." - Alfred Lord Tennyson

***

"Come, dear, you're not so wicked as you think. The worst sin towards our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them: that’s the essence of inhumanity. After all, my dear, if you watch people carefully, you'll be surprised to learn how like hate is to love.

Yes: I’m quite in earnest. Think of how some of our married friends worry one another, tax one another, are jealous of one another, can t bear to let one another out of sight for a day, arc more like jailers and slave-owners than lovers. Think of those very same people with their enemies, scrupulous, lofty, self-respecting, determined to be independent of one another, careful of how they speak of one another—pooh! haven’t you often thought that if they only knew it, they were better friends to their enemies than to their own husbands and wives?"

--- The Devil's Disciple / George Bernard Shaw
