People allow us to rise however high above them, but they never forgive us for not stooping as low as they do. So that the sympathy they give to the chosen characters, is not without some hatred, and fear too much honor means to them a tacit blame which they forgive neither the living nor the dead.

Romanian

"Oamenii ne îngăduie să ne ridicăm oricât de mult deasupra lor, nu ne iartă însă niciodată că nu coborâm atât de jos ca ei. Așa încât simpatia pe care ei o acordă caracterelor alese, nu e lipsită de oarecare ură și teamă prea multă cinstire înseamnă pentru ei o învinuire tacită pe care nu le-o iartă nici viilor, nici morților."
