get rid of an enemy
a work of Amarte by IlViaggiatore
Emil-Cioran
The best way to get rid of an enemy is to speak well of him everywhere. What you say be repeated to him, and he will no longer have the strength to harm you: you have broken his mainspring … He will still campaign against you but without vigor or consistency, for unconsciously he will have ceased to hate you. He is conquered, though unaware of his defeat.
