HATE QUOTES V

quotations about hate

Hatred is a passion that never should be permitted to rest in the breast of any human being; if nourished, there is no saying where it may lead its victim, as it often has to the "gallows." If any one you are sure hates you, perhaps you have something hateful about you; if so, mend your ways, and your enemy will cease to hate you, and you'll have ceased to be hateful, so both have benefited. Hatred is devilish, so live above it, and retire to rest each night with a bosom free from hatred to any of God's creatures. If you hate your brother or sister, God cannot love you, nor can you claim to be considered a Christian. Forgive as you hope to be forgiven, or if you forgive not, how can you expect that you will be forgiven. Nourish love and crucify any hatred in you. It is human to err, but it is divine to forgive.

Now I am silent, hate
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.

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.

HANNAH MORE

Memoirs of the Life and Correspondence of Mrs. Hannah More


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.

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.
