To Love Others Like Yourself

The chief thing is to love others like yourself, that's the great thing, and that's everything; nothing else is wanted - you will find out at once how to arrange it all. And yet it's an old truth which has been told and retold a bilion times - but it has not formed part of our livres! The consciousness of life is higher than life, the knowledge of the laws of happiness is higher than happiness - that is what one must contend against. And I shall. If only every one wants it, it can all be arranged at once.

Fiodor Dostoievski, in 'The Dream of a Ridiculous Man'
