« It goes without saying that an attack, or an attempt to steal or harm and thus cause harm, will create aggressive feelings in any normal person and in most animals. Apart from the attack from the outside, however, there is another source to this feeling of frustration and pain. In us, an unfulfilled desire can, if it is intense enough, create that same feeling and pain and awaken aggression, in exactly the same way as an attack would. »

« We all know that if we detect in ourselves impulses of hatred towards someone we love, we feel anxious or guilty. As Coleridge puts it: ... it is to be as crazy to be angry at the beloved. »

« I have already said that hatred can be used to dismiss or conceal desire or love. Here, in particularly gregarious and "well-regarded" people, it is love that is used to ward off hatred and its dangers. `...` having friends and being loved proves to them that they themselves are good, that is, what is dangerous in them does not exist or has been safely eliminated. »
