Hatred, as well as love, renders its votaries credulous.

JEAN-JACQUES ROUSSEAU

Confessions of Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Tags: Jean-Jacques Rousseau


It is as if he should feel that there is an enemy who could be more destructive to himself than that hatred which excites him against his fellow man; or that he could destroy him whom he hates more completely than he destroys his own soul by this same hatred.

AUGUSTINE

Confessions

Tags: St. Augustine


Hate is like a swordfish,
working through water invisibly
and then you see it coming
with blood along its blade,
but transparency disarms it.

PABLO NERUDA

Autumn Testament

Tags: Pablo Neruda


Hate is crystallized fear, fear's dividend, fear objectivized. We hate what we fear and so where hate is, fear will be lurking.

In all our hating there is a vast amount of egotism. If we could forget ourselves we should instantly forget our hating. We know of people who have done others injustice and who are consequently hated by those people. But we don't necessarily hate them or feel any resentment. It is only when the injury becomes our injury that we subject ourselves to torment. For this reason alone we ought to see what a small personal thing hate is and what an unwise indulgence.

We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love.

DAVID MITCHELL

The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet


Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.

My hands tend to be full enough dealing with people who hate me for who I am. Concentrate too hard on the millions of people who hate you for what you are and you're likely to turn into one of those unkempt, sloppy dressers who sag beneath the weight of the two hundred political buttons they wear pinned to their coats and knapsacks.

Men often hate each other because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don't know each other; they don't know each other because they can not communicate; they can not communicate because they are separated.
