"The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.” From http://www.upword.com/wilde/dorgray19.html Oscar Wilde's Picture of Dorian Gray

If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us. Hermann Hesse
