Frederick the Great Quotes
If the men were without passions, it would be forgivable to see Machiavel try to give some to them; he would be the new Prometheus bringing celestial fire to breathe life into robots. But no man is without passions. When they are moderated, they are the heart of the enterprise; but when the brake is stripped of them, they are its destruction.Frederick the Great

It is therefore not surprising that enthusiasts should be intolerant.
