Quote by Edgar Rice Burroghs
Anger and hate against one we love steels our hearts, but contempt or pity leaves us silent and ashamed.
Summary
This quote suggests that when we love someone, expressing anger or hate towards them may make us feel strong and resolute. However, feeling contempt or pity for that same person makes us feel silent and embarrassed. It implies that showing vulnerability and compassion towards someone we love can be more challenging and uncomfortable than displaying negative emotions towards them.
