"Yes, yes, love towards enemies, towards those who hate, is not an exaggeration, as it seems at first glance, but it is the basic idea of love. Like non-resistance, giving the other cheek is not an exaggeration and a parable, but a law, the law of non-resistance, without which Christianity cannot exist. Christianity cannot exist without love for haters, especially haters.

""Da, da, iubirea față de dușmani, fata de cei care urăsc nu e o exagerare, cum pare la prima vedere, ci e ideea de baza a iubirii. La fel ca neîmpotrivirea, oferirea celuilalt obraz nu e exagerare și parabolă, ci lege, legea neîmpotrivirii, fără de care nu poate exista creștinismul. Creștinismul nu poate exista nici fără iubirea față de cei care urăsc, în special față de cei care urăsc."
