Quotation

"I once thought that the antonym of love was hate. I have since discovered that the true opposite of love is fear. Fear that comes out of ignorance and bigotry and consequent emotional insecurity. This devil must be ruthlessly exposed so that it can be exorcised."

The statement is of Dato' Mahadev Shankar, retired Court of Appeal Judge. It is an excerpt from an interview by and published in Relevan, a newsletter of the Kuala Lumpur Bar (Issue No 3/05).
