I hate mankind, for I think myself one of the best of them, and I know how bad I am.
— Misanthropy
I hate mankind, for I think myself one of the best of them, and I know how bad I am.
I am now quite cured of seeking pleasure in society, be it country or town. A sensible man ought to find sufficient company in himself.
My hate is general, I detest all men; Which vice should stimulate in virtuous minds.
I am misanthropos, and hate mankind That I might love thee something.
Timon will to the woods; where he shall find Amen.
