Quote

Only those who spread treachery, fire, and death out of hatred for the prosperity of others are undeserving of pity.

By intensity of hatred, nations create in themselves the character that they imagine in their enemies. Hence it comes that all passionate conflicts result in an interchange of characteristics. We might say with truth, those who hate open a door by which their enemies enter and make their own the secret places of the heart.

During times of war, hatred becomes quite respectable even though it has to masquerade often under the guise of patriotism.

When people are very damaged, they can often meet the world with a kind of defiance.

One likes people much better when they're battered down by a prodigious siege of misfortune than when they triumph.

We see many who are struggling against adversity who are happy, and more although abounding in wealth, who are wretched.

The world is not fair, and often fools, cowards, liars and the selfish hide in high places.

Those who plot the destruction of others often perish in the attempt.

Hatred strikes me as one of the few signs of life remaining in the world. This is another thing about the world which is upsidedown: all the friendly and likable people seem dead to me; only the haters seem alive.

No people in the history of the world have ever been so misunderstood, so misjudged, and so cruelly maligned.
