Baruch Spinoza Quotes
The terms good and bad indicate no positive quality in things regarded in themselves, but are merely modes of thinking or notions, which we form from the comparison of things one with another.

For instance, music is good for him that is melancholy, bad for him that mourns; for him that is deaf; it is neither good nor bad.
