HATE QUOTES V

quotations about hate

Hate looks like everybody else until it smiles. Until it spins around and lies with lips and teeth carved into the semblance of something too passive to punch.

TAHEREH MAFI

Shatter Me


Hating is wasteful and absurd. But there are people we can't get along with, hateful people, perhaps people that hate us for no reason in the world or people that annoy us or draw us into quarreling. Isn't it better for us to keep out of the way? Often we find people taking this line of thought. As a rule it is self-deceptive. Surely it is better for us to keep out of the way of those we can't get along with. But when we meet them there is only one thing for us to do, to treat them courteously, to be careful not to let them see that we are suspicious of them or in any way unfriendly. We must actually take toward them a kindly attitude. We must realize that their faults belong to the huge family of faults from which we ourselves make a generous draft.

Up to my neck,
Thick, thick.
I do not speak.

Blunted unto goodness is the heart which anger never stirreth,
But that which hatred swelleth, is keen to carve out evil.

Hatred is night; kindness is day.

SUHRAWARDI

attributed, Day's Collacon


It is one of the most difficult things in the world to pursuade ourselves that any one can love those whom we ourselves hate.

PRINCESS DE SALM-DYCK

attributed, Day's Collacon


Hate engenders hate. Hate spreads to nations, and from this cause we have devastating wars. In the contemplation of these wars and their origins there is something humiliating to our human race. No Hymn of Hate can ever be a paean of humanity.

Hatred does not cease by hatred, hatred ceases by love; this is the eternal rule.

BUDDHA

attributed, Day's Collacon

Tags: Buddha quotes


The moment we begin hating we start a train of mischief. Instantly the person we hate becomes a painful object, not to the physical eye alone, but to the eye of consciousnes which can see objects far away or not present at all. The good haters carry about with them many such objects. They fill their house of life with hideous furniture. Life itself they make ugly. And the ugliness they reflect in their feeling, often in their looks. The good haters easily assume hateful expressions. And hateful expressions sometimes become fixed in the face. Indeed, all the beauty doctors in the world cannot hide such betrayals. Furthermore, hating quickly shows itself to the object hated. If the object hated is human it is likely to return hate for hate. Now the war is on. There is no knowing how far it will go, with its reprisals. Invariably hating brings out the worst aspects in the hater and in the hated.

That feelings of love and hate make rational judgments impossible in public affairs, as in private affairs, we can clearly enough see in others, though not so clearly in ourselves.

Hatred is like fire--it makes even light rubbish deadly.

GEORGE ELIOT

Janet's Repentance

Tags: George Eliot


In any society, fanatics who hate don't hate only me--they hate you too. They hate everybody. Someone who hates one group will end up hating everyone--and, ultimately, hating himself or herself.... They need hate in order to feel superior.
