"A man can employ twofold beneficial emotions on others, respect and love, the former by way of the sublime, the latter by way of the beautiful. A woman reconciles both. This composite feeling is the greatest effect that can ever happen to a human heart. Yet, it {the heart} can be strong enough for only two dull feelings. If one of the two should be strong then the other must be weak. One wonders now which of the two one wants to weaken. Basic principles are of the greatest sublimity. "
