Quote by Terry Pratchett

But that was just it - hate was exactly the right word. Hate is a force of attraction. Hate is just love with its back turned.

Summary

This quote suggests that hate and love are intertwined. The term "hate" is described as a powerful energy that holds similarities to love, as it has the ability to draw people towards something or someone. In this context, hate is seen as a manifestation of love, but with a different perspective. It implies that hate can arise when love is obscured or turned away, possibly suggesting that strong emotions can flip from affection to animosity when the focus or understanding changes.
