"Cruelty is not peculiar to man and is explained only by the narrowness of the goal, the concentration of life's efforts on the goal. The narrower the goal, the more likely the occurrence of cruelty. Love aims at the good of others and is therefore incompatible with cruelty.

Cruelty is not peculiar to man and is explained only by the narrowness of the goal, the concentration of life's efforts on the goal. The narrower the goal, the more likely the occurrence of cruelty. Love aims at the good of others and is therefore incompatible with cruelty.
""Cruzimea nu e proprie omului și se explică doar prin ingustimea scopului, concentrarea eforturilor vieții asupra scopului. Cu cât scopul e mai ingust, cu atât apariția cruzimii e mai probabilă. Iubirea are ca scop binele altora și de aceea e incompatibilă cu cruzimea."
