Quotes About Hatred

The story of wolf killing illustrates the tenacity of two Euro-American conquering devices—folklore and property. Folklore fueled wolf hatred through rituals and legends codified into motifs and transmitted by word of mouth. Wolf lore survived by being remembered and retold, while property in the form of livestock also traveled across landscapes and lifetimes.
~ Jon T. Coleman
So as well as hating you, they also hate them – whoever they are – these faceless people who are sitting in judgement over them somewhere, legislating on what they can and can't say out loud.
~ Jonathan Coe
From love arises hatred of those things which are contrary to what we love, or which oppose and thwart us in those things that we delight in.
~ Jonathan Edwards
Don't talk to me about hatred if you haven't been married. Only love, only long empathy and identification and compassion, can root another person in your heart so deeply that there's no escaping your hatred of her, not ever; especially not when the thing you hate most about her is her capacity to be hurt by you. The love persists and the hatred with it.
~ Jonathan Franzen
What happened in the virtual world, where beauty existed for the purpose of being hated and besmirched, was more compelling than what happened in the real world, where beauty seemed to have no purpose at all.

La amistad une; también el odio sabe juntar.
~ Jorge Luís Borges
La historia era increíble, en efecto, pero se impuso a todos, porque sustancialmente era cierta. Verdadero era el tono de Emma Zunz, verdadero el pudor, verdadero el odio. Verdadero también era el ultraje que había padecido; sólo eran falsas las circunstancias, la hora y uno o dos nombres propios.
~ Jorge Luís Borges
se odió; odió su identidad, sus necesidades corporales, su humillación.
~ Jorge Luís Borges
I am always frightened of something which exists in the majority of people, but which I cannot explain. The young generation of the period of transition were like me. In our mind we despised our slavery, but we ourselves became cowardly slaves. Our hatred was deep and passionate, but barren, like the mad love of a eunuch.
~ A. I. Kuprin
All crimes, all hatreds, all wars can be reduced to unhappiness.
~ A. S. Neill
Oh, wonderful. I killed his father. He hates me. He knows how to make bombs. Come on, Wedge, how does this story end?
~ Aaron Allston
The glorification of hatred is predicated on a foundation of fear-induced ignorance venomous to haters and those they believe they hate.
~ Aberjhani
Racism is man's gravest threat to man - the maximum of hatred for a minimum of reason.
~ Abraham Joshua Heschel
The French psychoanalyst Lacan suggested that the Christian injunction 'love thy neighbour as thyself' must be ironic because people hate themselves.)

I don't see much future for the Americans ... it's a decayed country. And they have their racial problem, and the problem of social inequalities ... my feelings against Americanism are feelings of hatred and deep repugnance ... everything about the behaviour of American society reveals that it's half Judaised, and the other half negrified. How can one expect a State like that to hold together?
~ Adolf Hitler
The Whites have carried to these (colonial) people the worst that they could carry: the plagues of the world: materialism, fanaticism, alcoholism, and syphilis. Moreover, since what these people possessed on their own was superior to anything we could give them, they have remained themselves... The sole result of the activity of the colonizers is: they have everywhere aroused hatred.
~ Adolf Hitler
It is more difficult to undermine faith than knowledge, love succumbs to change less than to respect, hatred is more durable than aversion, and at all times the driving force of the most important changes in this world has been found less in a scientific knowledge animating the masses, but rather in a fanaticism dominating them and in a hysteria which drove them forward.
~ Adolf Hitler
Ich konnte all die Juden in dieser Welt zu zerstören, aber ich lasse ein wenig drehte-on,so können Sie herausfinden, warum ich sie getötet...
~ Adolf Hitler
Our enemies are little worms. I saw them at Munich.
~ Adolf Hitler
In confronting the theoretical falsity and absurdity of that [Social Democrat] doctrine with the reality of the phenomenon, I gradually acquired a clear picture of its aims... At such times, I was overcome by dark forebodings and fear of something evil. I saw before me a teaching inspired by egoism and hatred, mathematically calculated to win a victory-but the triumph of which would be a mortal blow to humanity.
~ Adolf Hitler
It is always more difficult to fight successfully against Faith than against knowledge. Love is less subject to change than respect. Hatred is more lasting than mere aversion. And the driving force which has brought about the most tremendous revolutions on this earth has never been a body of scientific teaching which has gained power over the masses, but always a devotion which has inspired them, and often a kind of hysteria which has urged them to action.
~ Adolf Hitler
I don't see much of a future for the Americans... it's a decayed country. And they have their racial problems, and the problem of social inequalities... my feelings against the Americanism are feelings of hatred and deep repugnance... everything about the behaviour of American society reveals that it's half Judaised, and the other half negrified. How can one expect a state like that to hold together?
~ Adolf Hitler
