Chapter 17, Part 18 - Confucius

The Master said, "I hate the manner in which purple takes away the luster of vermilion. I hate the way in which the songs of Chang confound the music of the Ya. I hate those who with their sharp mouths overthrow kingdoms and families."
~ James Legge translation via The Internet Classics Archive ~
