There is a quote in my mind that I thought came from Confessions by Rousseau, but I can find no confirmation of that. It goes like this:
"I do not know what may lie in the heart of a scoundrel, but I have seen the heart of an honest man and it is horrible."
Can anyone help me?
This quote has some similarities though not a direct hit.
