Those who hate don't mind being loved for what they are not

Somehow brilliant but I am still thinking about this one.

For some reason this quote reminds me of Macchiavelli's advice to The Prince. "Upon this a question arises: whether it be better to be loved than feared or feared than loved? It may be answered that one should wish to be both, but, because it is difficult to unite them in one person, is much safer to be feared than loved, when, of the two, either must be dispensed with."
