Quote★★★★
The best characters are made by vigorous and persistent resistance to evil tendencies whose amiability has been built upon the ruins of ill-temper, and whose generosity springs from an overmastered and transformed selfishness. Such a character, built up in the presence of enemies, has far more attraction than one which is natively pleasing.
