We ought to hate very rarely, as it is too fatiguing; remain indifferent to a great deal, forgive often and never forget.

“Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.” Yoda.
Still she rises an hour before work
to walk the river path, arms stretched out
awkwardly like swan wings to work the fat.
It must be nice, I say, to be pretty;
some desires you never grow out of.

Its easy to forget violence while violence forgets you. Dransfield
Satan’s plan is to sow hatred and enmity amongst you with intoxicants and gambling, and to hamper you from the remembrance of Allah and from prayer. Will you not give up?
A cup of tea would restore my normality. Douglas Adams
The Brisbane Courier (Qld. : 1864 – 1933), Saturday 15 September 1928,
I don’t want tea,” said Clary, with muffled force. “I want to find my mother. And then I want to find out who took her in the first place, and I want to kill them.”
“Unfortunately,” said Hodge, “we’re all out of bitter revenge at the moment, so it’s either tea or nothing.

There is certainly no absolute standard of beauty. That precisely is what makes its pursuit so interesting. ~ John Kenneth Galbraith.
The Sydney Morning Herald (NSW : 1842 – 1954), Saturday 4 July 1931,
“One of the things which danger does to you after a time is -, well, to kill emotion. I don’t think I shall ever feel anything again except fear. None of us can hate anymore – or love.”
Graham Greene – The Confidential Agent (1939)
All excess is ill, but drunkenness is of the worst sort. It spoils health, dismounts the mind, and unmans men. It reveals secrets, is quarrelsome, lascivious, impudent, dangerous and mad. In fine, he that is drunk is not a man: because he is so long void of Reason, that distinguishes a Man from a Beast.
WILLIAM PENN, Some Fruits of Solitude

Always kiss your children goodnight – even if they’re already asleep.
~H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
“There is no such thing as a “broken family.” Family is family, and is not determined by marriage certificates, divorce papers, and adoption documents. Families are made in the heart. The only time family becomes null is when those ties in the heart are cut. If you cut those ties, those people are not your family. If you make those ties, those people are your family. And if you hate those ties, those people will still be your family because whatever you hate will always be with you.”
― C. JoyBell C.
It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.”
― André Gide, Autumn Leaves
A wind has blown the rain away and blown the sky away and all the leaves away, and the trees stand. I think, I too, have known autumn too long.
~E. E. Cummins
In order to see birds it is necessary to become part of the silence
– Robert Lynd
“Que diga amor? Love? Hate? Speak to me of things the world has yet to truly understand, of the instant meaning of each bird’s call, of a child’s secret thoughts in her mother’s womb, of the measured rhythmical time of every man and woman’s breath, of the true colors of the inside of the moon, of the larger miracles in small things, the deeper mysteries.”
― Edwidge Danticat, The Farming of Bones
Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.
― Martin Luther King, Jr., A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches
the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads
You can’t stop your heart from loving, really – it’s like standing out there in the ocean yelling at the waves to stop.”
― Sue Monk Kidd, The Mermaid Chair
“I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” — Martin Luther King, Jr
Hate is a dead thing. Who of you would be a tomb? ― Khalil Gibran
“The first thing you notice about New Orleans are the burying grounds – the cemeteries – and they’re a cold proposition, one of the best things there are here. Going by, you try to be as quiet as possible, better to let them sleep. Greek, Roman, sepulchres- palatial mausoleums made to order, phantomesque, signs and symbols of hidden decay – ghosts of women and men who have sinned and who’ve died and are now living in tombs. The past doesn’t pass away so quickly here.
You could be dead for a long time”
― Bob Dylan
Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.
― Henry David Thoreau
“We’re all one thing, like cells in a body. ‘Cept we can’t see the body. The way fish can’t see the ocean. And so we envy each other. Hurt each other. Hate each other. How silly is that? A heart cell hating a lung cell.”
― Charlie Kaufman, Adaptation.: The Shooting Script
I have decided to stick to love…Hate is too great a burden to bear.
― Martin Luther King Jr., A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches
“Hate is too great a burden to bear. It injures the hater more than it injures the hated.”
― Coretta Scott King
It is far better for a man to go wrong in freedom than to go right in chains.
― Thomas Henry Huxley
“Forgiveness is the key that unlocks the door of resentment and the handcuffs of hatred. It is a power that breaks the chains of bitterness and the shackles of selfishness.”
― Corrie Ten Boom, Clippings from My Notebook
Dogs love their friends and bite their enemies, quite unlike people, who are incapable of pure love and always have to mix love and hate. Sigmund Freud
THE BAD THING ABOUT FEAR
Is it requires a reaction. Some hide.
Some cry. But, like a dog condemned
to a walled yard with no hope
of escape or affection, some learn
to bite.”
Ellen Hopkins
“Long marriages have ended in ruin over tiny and insignificant grievances that were never properly aired and instead grew into a brittle barnacle of hatred.”
Augusten Burroughs
“Not to forgive is to be imprisoned by the past, by old grievances that do not permit life to proceed with new business. Not to forgive is to yield oneself to another’s control… to be locked into a sequence of act and response, of outrage and revenge, tit for tat, escalating always. The present is endlessly overwhelmed and devoured by the past. Forgiveness frees the forgiver. It extracts the forgiver from someone else’s nightmare.”
Lance Morrow, The Chief: A Memoir of Fathers and Sons
“The human heart is a strange vessel. Love and hatred can exist side by side.” Scott Westerfeld
“Shape clay into a vessel;
It is the space within that makes it useful.
Cut doors and windows for a room;
It is the holes which make it useful.
Therefore benefit comes from what is there;
Usefulness from what is not there.”
Lao Tzu
If you agree to personate a dog, you must bark.
Anything once begun should be done thoroughly.
(The proverb implies that the work in question was begun with some unwillingness.)

A BOY AND A DOG
By Marty Hale
I want my boy to have a dog,
Or maybe two or three…
He’ll learn from them much easier
Than he would learn from me.
A dog will show him how to love
And bear no grudge or hate;
I’m not so good at that myself
But dogs will do it straight.

I suspect that many an ailurophobe (a person who fears or hates cats) hates cats only because he feels they are better people than he is – more honest, more secure, more loved, more whatever he is not. (Winifred Carriere)
Does a frog, seated on its haunches, become a lion? — a hog, grunting, become a leopard ? Does a cat, by its similarity to a tiger, become a tiger ? Are all wise men alike in knowledge ?

Fear less, hope more; Whine less, breathe more; Talk less, say more; Hate less, love more; And all good things are yours. Swedish.
I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain. James Baldwin

There is no room within my heart for revenge, fire or hate there is no room within my mind for any thoughts like these.

"As long as you don’t forgive, who and whatever it is will occupy rent-free space in your mind."
