Quote by Mason Cooley

Hatred observes with more care than love does.

Hatred observes with more care than love does.

Summary

This quote implies that when driven by hatred or animosity, individuals tend to observe and scrutinize more closely. Hatred can fuel a more intense focus and attention to detail, giving rise to a critical and meticulous attitude towards the object of hatred. On the other hand, love may be more forgiving and accepting, leading to a more lenient eye towards flaws or imperfections. In essence, hatred evokes a heightened sense of vigilance and scrutiny, while love often embraces a more indulgent and forgiving perspective.

Educating a son I should allow him no fairy tales and only a very few novels. This is to prevent him from having 1. the sense of romantic solitude (if he is worth anything he will develop a proper and useful solitude) which identification with the hero gives. 2. cant ideas of right and wrong, absurd systems of honor and morality which never will he be able completely to get rid of, 3. the attainment of ideals, of a priori desires, of a priori emotions. He should amuse himself with fact only: he will then not learn that if the weak younger son do or do not the magical honorable thing he will win the princess with hair like flax.
