Spinoza - Countering Passions (Affects) with Affects

"An affect cannot be restrained nor removed unless by an opposed and stronger affect." Ftnt 21 (p. 23)
"No affect can be restrained by the true knowledge of good and evil insofar as it is true, but only insofar as it is considered as an affect." (p. 22)
(Cited in Passions and Interests)
