Today's Quote: On Love 2

"I know that people can be beautiful and happy without losing their ability to dwell on this earth. I cannot and will not believe that evil is man's natural state...

A dream they say... I shall go further: let it never, never come true, let paradise never be... ...I shall anyway go and spread the word. And yet it could be done so simply: in a single day, in a single hour everything would be settled! One should love others as one loves oneself, that is the main thing, that is all, nothing else, absolutely nothing else is needed, and then one would instantly know how to go about it. It's nothing but an old truth, repeated and read billions of times, and yet it has not taken root.
...If only everyone wanted it, it could be all done at once."


Fyodor Dostoevsky, from his short story 'The Dream of a Ridiculous Man'
