Politeness is for people toward whom we feel indifferent, and moods, both good and bad, are for those we love.

Propos sur le bonheur [On Happiness (1928)

Each one gave the other the only assistance one man can expect from another: that his friend support him and ask only that he remain himself. It is no great accomplishment to take people as they are, and we must always do so eventually, but to wish them to be as they are, that is a genuine love.
