Quote by Charles Lamb
Don't introduce me to that man! I want to go on hating him, and I can't hate a man whom I know.
Summary
This quote reflects the sentiment that it is easier to hate someone when there is distance and lack of familiarity between them. By claiming not to want to be introduced to someone, the speaker suggests that it is easier to maintain a dislike or grudge against someone if they remain unknown. Knowing someone on a personal level can humanize them and potentially inspire empathy, making it more difficult to harbor negative feelings towards them.
