Those whom we can love, we can hate; to others we are indiff

Summary

This quote suggests that our capacity to love someone is closely connected to our potential to feel intense disdain towards them.

In essence, it highlights the notion that love and hate are interconnected emotions, while apathy is the absence of any strong feelings towards someone.
