“Listen, my soul, there are those who say wrong things about us. They utter harmful lies and hurtful slanders. They’ve no right to do this, but they do it anyway. They vilify us not because they know us well. Quite the opposite: they do not know us at all.” “But that doesn’t make any sense. I don’t go around saying horrible things about people I don’t know!” “Of course you don’t; that’s because you’re wise.”
