Morality as Attitude Is Opposed to Our Taste

We learn to despise when we love, and precisely when we love best. Morality as attitude is opposed to our taste nowadays. The Psychologists of France have never yet exhausted their bitter and manifold enjoyment of their betis borschwars. Flaubert, for instance, the honest citizen of Rouen, neither saw, heard, nor tasted anything else in the end. It was his mode of self-torment and refined cruelty. There you have a spectacle fit for gods and godlike malignity.
