Hatred Quotes

“The sounds grew louder and closer. At first they were muffles as if wrapped in cotton wool, then they became sharper as guns cracked, horses whinnied, doors mashed open, followed by the awful sounds of people screaming.”

“Sometimes, I consider whether the Emperor hated the Primarchs the way Fulgrim hates us."
"Speak for yourself. Our father does not hate us."
"Of course he does. From afar, you feel the lie of his warmth, the false affection you all so urgently crave. And he gives it to you but always from pity. You are his champion, yet still you cannot see it. You will never be as close to him as I was. You never see the way he really looks at us. Never seeing the wonders we wrought, only the limitations. Not our triumphs, just our flaws. He hates us, Lucius, because to Fulgrim, we are not his sons. We are a mirror, holding up an image before him that he can never do anything other than hate. We are his own failure made manifest, the miscarriage that comes about when a father tries to mould his children into something better than himself.”
― Ian St. Martin, Lucius: The Faultless Blade

“Hatred, Omeir sees, is contagious, spreading through the ranks like a disease. Already, three weeks into the siege, some of the men fight no longer for God or the sultan or plunder but out of a fearful rage. Kill them all. Get this over with. Sometimes the anger flares inside Omeir too, and he wants nothing more than for God to plunge a fiery fist through the sky, and start crushing buildings one after the next until all the Greeks are dead, and he can go home.”
― Anthony Doerr, Cloud Cuckoo Land

“We may be locked up behind barbed wire here in Stalag Luft Thirteen, but human nature doesn't change. That's the problem with education, you know. Shouldn't take the boy off the farm. It opens his eyes and what he sees isn't always what he might want to see. Like blacks and whites. And what happens. What always happens. Because there isn't any piece of evidence in this entire world strong enough to overcome the evidence of hatred and prejudice.”
― John Katzenbach, Hart's War

Overkill. Shambles. You try hard, too hard, to get rid of that juvenile romantic in you and what happens then? You succeed, that’s what happens. And it shows forever on your face. It turns to stone.”
― Romain Gary, The Gasp

“At times I might hate the behavior, but don’t confuse that with my feelings regarding the person. For it is all too easy to attempt to lend weight to your stance by errantly declaring that my hatred of one is hatred of both, when actually my hatred of one is born out of my love for the other.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“Christian non-violence does not encourage or excuse hatred of a special class, nation or social group. It is not merely anti-this or that. In other words, the Evangelical hate for realism which is demanded of the Christian should make it impossible for him to generalize about "the wicked" against whom he takes up moral arms in a struggle for righteous-ness. He will not let himself be persuaded that the adversary is totally wicked and can therefore never be reasonable or well-intentioned, and hence need never be listened to. This attitude, which defeats the very purpose of non-violence—openness, communication, dialogue—often accounts for the fact that some acts of civil disobedience merely antagonize the adversary without making him willing to communicate in any way whatever, except with bullets or missiles. Thomas à Becket, in Eliot's play Murder in the Cathedral, debated with himself, fearing that he might be seeking Martyrdom merely in order to demonstrate his own righteousness and the King's injustice: "This is the treason, to do the right thing for the wrong reason.”
― Thomas Merton, Faith and Violence: Christian Teaching and Christian Practice

“If one hates another it will recoil on oneself”

“Como tú, I woke up to
this dream of a country I didn't choose, that
didn't choose me--trapped in the nightmare
of its hateful glares.”
― Richard Blanco, How to Love a Country

“Write one more stanza—now. Set the page ablaze
with the anger in the hollow ache of our bones—
anger for the new hate, same as the old kind of hate
for the wrong skin color, for the accent in a voice,
for the love of those we’re not supposed to love.
Anger for the voice of politics armed with lies, fear
that holds democracy at gunpoint.”
― Richard Blanco, How to Love a Country

“The Dark Cloud
Is the fear you must contain within yourself because of an attacker
Is the bank account that was destroyed because of a hacker
Is the reminder that some countries don’t allow women to be a rover
Is the removal of a group of people from the planet because evil has taken over”
― Aida Mandic, The Dark Cloud
