It is to the credit of human nature, that, except where its selfishness is brought into play, it loves more readily than it hates. Hatred, by a gradual and quiet process, will even be transformed to love, unless the change be impeded by a continually new irritation of the original feeling of hostility.

  • -- Nathaniel Hawthorne 纳撒尼尔·霍桑

人类的本性是值得赞扬的,除非自私被发挥作用,否则爱比恨更容易得到满足。仇恨,通过一个渐进而平静的过程,甚至会转化为爱,除非这种变化被最初的敌意的不断刺激所阻碍。
