You're a disaster for us, Clary! You're a mundane, you'll always be one, you'll never be a Shadowhunter! You don't know how to think like we do, think about what's best for everyone-- all you think about is yourself! But there's a war now, or there will be, and I don't have time or the inclination to follow around after you, trying to make sure you don't get us killed! Go home, Clary. Go home!
Cassandra Clare
Neither prosperity nor empire nor heaven can be worth winning at the price of a virulent temper, bloody hands, an anguished spirit, and a vain hatred of the rest of the world.
John Milton
A man who lives, not by what he loves but what he hates, is a sick man.
Archibald MacLeish
To be angry is to revenge the faults of others on ourselves.
Alexander Pope
Hatred is the coward's revenge for being intimidated.
George Bernard Shaw
Forcible ways make not an end of evil, but leave hatred and malice behind them.
Sir Thomas Browne
We are almost always guilty of the hate we encounter.
Marquis De Vauvenargues
You can't hate someone until you know what it might be like to love them.
Jodi Picoult
Suddenly, by the sort of violent effort with which one wrenches one's head away from the pillow in a nightmare, Winston succeeded in transferring his hatred from the face on the screen to the dark?haired girl behind him. Vivid, beautiful hallucinations flashed through his mind. He would flog her to death with a rubber truncheon. He would tie her naked to a stake and shoot her full of arrows like Saint Sebastian. He would ravish her and cut her throat at the moment of climax. Better than before, moreover, he realized why it was that he hated her. He hated her because she was young and pretty and sexless, because he wanted to go to bed with her and would never do so, because round her sweet supple waist, which seemed to ask you to encircle it with your arm, there was only the odious scarlet sash, aggressive symbol of chastity.
George Orwell
Many can bear adversity, but few contempt.
Proverb
Some evils are cured by contempt.
Darkness doesn't exist, you can merely measure the amount of light that is present. I think the same of hate, a lack of love rather.
James Dye
Hate is such a luxurious emotion, it can only be spent on one we love.
Bob Udkoff
Hate is nothing when weighed against survival. (Valentine)
My hatred gives me strength.
Janet Fitch
Hatred is a thing of the heart, contempt a thing of the head. Hatred and contempt are decidedly antagonistic towards one another and mutually exclusive. A great deal of hatred, indeed, has no other source than a compelled respect for the superior qualities of some other person; conversely, if you were to consider hating every miserable wretch you met you would have your work cut out: it is much easier to despise them one and all. True, genuine contempt, which is the obverse of true, genuine pride, stays hidden away in secret and lets no one suspect its existence: for if you let a person you despise notice the fact, you thereby reveal a certain respect for him, inasmuch as you want him to know how low you rate him
Arthur Schopenhauer, Originally
Anger may repast with thee for an hour, but not repose for a night; the continuance of anger is hatred, the continuance of hatred turns malice.
Francis Quarles
In doing good, we are generally cold, and languid, and sluggish; and of all things afraid of being too much in the right. But the works of malice and injustice are quite in another style. They are finished with a bold, masterly hand; touched as they are with the spirit of those vehement passions that call forth all our energies, whenever we oppress and persecute.
Edmund Burke
From the deepest desires often come the deadliest hate.
Socrates
Chivalry is the most delicate form of contempt.
Albert Guerard
