The beautiful is the symbol of the morally good.
Men are not only prone to forget benefits and injuries; they even hate those who have obliged them, and cease to hate those who have injured them. The necessity of revenging an injury or of recompensing a benefit seems a slavery to which they are unwilling to submit.
There is the good and the bad, the great and the low, the just and the unjust. I swear to you that all that will never change.
