“There would then be no place left for hatred among the wise. After all, who but a fool would hate good men? But there is also no reason to hate evil men, because vice is like an illness of the body, a kind of disease of souls. If we must never hate people for being physically ill, then even more so, we should not be moved to revenge but to pity for those whose minds are oppressed by wickedness, more ravenous than any disease.”
