A woman said unto a man, “ I love you. ” And the man said, “ It is in my heart to be worthy of your love. ” 
  And the woman said, “ You love me not? ” And the man only gazed upon her and said nothing. Then the woman cried aloud, “ I hate you. ” And the man said, “ Then it is also in my heart to be worthy of your hate. ”
