Nature does not loathe virtue: it is unaware of its existence.

Summary

This quote suggests that nature, in its pure and raw form, does not possess knowledge or awareness of the concept of virtue. Unlike humans who can recognize and appreciate virtuous qualities, nature is seen as indifferent to moral values and does not have any inherent liking or disliking towards virtue. The quote emphasizes the idea that morality is a construct born out of human understanding and judgment rather than something naturally present in the world.
