Quote by Rollo May

Hate is not the opposite of love; apathy is.

Hate is not the opposite of love; apathy is.

Summary

This quote reflects the idea that hate and love are not necessarily opposing emotions, as they both signify a strong emotional attachment or investment in something or someone. Instead, the true opposite of love is apathy, which represents a lack of care, concern, or interest. While hate may contain elements of passion and strong emotions, apathy signifies a complete disconnection and indifference towards others or the subject in question. It suggests that being apathetic is a far greater absence of love than feeling hate.

Everything that depends on the action of nature is by nature

Everything that depends on the action of nature is by nature as good as it can be, and similarly everything that depends on art or any rational cause, and especially if it depends on the best of all causes. To entrust to chance what is greatest and most noble would be a very defective arrangement.
