"I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. I don’t care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it. My affections, being concentrated over a few people, are not spread all over Hell in a vile attempt to placate sulky, worthless shits."
"Niggas hate what they can't understand, fear what they can't conquer"
"I can’t hate people for making judgment on me, or making a decision of liking me or not liking me. All I can do is try to better as a person. And I’m good with knowing everything isn’t always going to be perfect."
"I hate myself, and I want to die"
"The opposite of love is not hate, but indifference. Indifference creates evil. Hatred is evil itself. Indifference is what allows evil to be strong, what gives it power."
"The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him."
"Always preach in such a way that if the people listening do not come to hate their sin, they will instead hate you"
"People will like you who never met you, they think you're absolutely wonderful; and then people also will hate you, for reasons that have nothing to do with any real experience with you. People don't want to lose their enemies. We have favorite enemies, people we love to hate and we hate to love. If they do something good, we don't like it. I found myself doing that with Ronald Reagan. He is anathema to me. If he does something that's reasonable, I find my mind trying to find some way to interpret it so that it's not reasonable, so that somewhere it's jingoist extremism."
"I'd rather have people hate me with the knowledge that I tried to save them."
"People will hate you for speaking the truth, but you've gotta learn to stand up to them, so don't be offended if I say something you don't like."
"Never permit a dichotomy to rule your life, a dichotomy in which you hate what you do so you can have pleasure in your spare time. Look for a situation in which your work will give you as much happiness as your spare time."
"As for politics, I’m an anarchist. I hate governments and rules and fetters. Can’t stand caged animals. People must be free."
"Every single human being is trying his best. We're all doing the best we can. But when we believe what we think, we have to live out those thoughts. When there's chaos in our heads, there's chaos in our lives. When there's hurt in our thinking, there's hurt in our lives. Love thy neighbor as thyself? I always have. When I hated me, I hated you. That's how it works. If I hate someone, I'm mistaking them for me, and solutions remain hidden."
"I hate writing, I love having written."
"Let your love be stronger than your hate or anger. Learn the wisdom of compromise, for it is better to bend a little than to break."
"make it a practice to avoid hating anyone. If someone's been guilty of despicable actions, especially toward me, I try to forget him. I used to follow a practice - somewhat contrived, I admit - to write the man's name on a piece of scrap paper, drop it into the lowest drawer of my desk, and say to myself: "That finishes the incident, and so far as I'm concerned, that fellow." The drawer became over the years a sort of private wastebasket for crumbled-up spite and discarded personalities."
"We must not fear daylight just because it almost always illuminates a miserable world."
"Don't hate me because I'm fabulous"
"Love and hope can conquer hate."
