If I didn't have to hate her, I'd adore her. — Julianne Potter · 1997Kat Stratford1 quote
I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair. I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare. I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind. I hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme. I hate it, I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie. I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry. I hate it when you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call. But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all. — Kat Stratford · 1999Martin Luther King, Jr.1 quote
I have also decided to stick with love...hate is too great a burden to bear. — Martin Luther King, Jr. · 1967Nelson Mandela1 quote

People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite. — Nelson Mandela · 1994Quintus Arrius1 quote

You've got to be taught
Before it's too late
Before you are six, or seven, or eight
To hate all the people your relatives hate
You've got to be carefully taught. — Rodgers and Hammerstein · 1949Seneca1 quote
