Hate Quotes

Standart top banner.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

I don't see how it's doing society any good to have so many members walking around with vague memories of algebraic formulas and geometric diagrams and clear memories of hating them.

If a man really believes that God once upheld slavery; that he commanded soldiers to kill women and babes; that he believed in polygamy; that he persecuted for opinion's sake; that he will punish forever, and that he hates an unbeliever, the effect in my judgment will be bad. It always has been bad. This belief built the dungeons of the Inquisition. This belief made the Puritan murder the Quaker.

The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men's souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.

Hate, it has caused a lot of problems in the world, but has not solved one yet.

Hating people is like burning down your own house to get rid of a rat.

Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.

Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win.

We do not like to be robbed of an enemy; we want someone to hate when we suffer. It is so depressing to think that we suffer because we are fools; yet, taking mankind in the mass, that is the truth.

A Rattlesnake, if Cornered will become so angry it will bite itself. That is exactly what the harboring of hate and resentment against others is -- a biting of oneself. We think we are harming others in holding these spites and hates, but the deeper harm is to ourselves.

Hatred is the coward's revenge for being intimidated.

Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.

No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. 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.

Fear of something is at the root of hate for others, and hate within will eventually destroy the hater.

I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.

When someone says, 'I love you,' he is telling you about himself, not you. When someone says, 'I hate you,' she is telling you about herself, not you. World views are self views-literally.

Remember, always give your best. Never get discouraged. Never be petty. Always remember, others may hate you. But those who hate you don't win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself.

A man who lives, not by what he loves but what he hates, is a sick man.

Hatred is gained as much by good works as by evil.

In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe.

All men kill the thing they hate, too, unless, of course, it kills them first.

If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us.

I will tell you what to hate. Hate hypocrisy, hate cant, hate indolence, oppression, injustice; hate Pharisaism; hate them as Christ hated them with a deep, living, godlike hatred.

Love is a given, hatred is acquired.

Teaching The Hate U Give: A Case Study

When I originally sought out teaching  The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas to my high school English class, I knew I was taking a risk . I risked the time I had spent prepping the material, the money my building poured into acquiring books for students, and I tossed aside a decade-old tried-and-true district curriculum.

I didn’t know anyone who had taught this novel and had no one to go to for advice. Luckily for you, brave teacher, I’m willing to share what I learned!

Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links that earn me a small commission, at no additional cost to you. I only recommend products that I personally use and love, or think my readers will find useful.

Fears Teaching The Hate U Give

In the first week of the unit, I was anxious every class period: what are my students thinking? Will they like it as much as I did? Do they think I’m pushing some kind of political agenda–and, if they do, is that a bad thing?

I was also been holding my breath, waiting for some kind of negative feedback from my coworkers. While I did receive approval to teach  The Hate U Give , it’s not exactly on the official curriculum, and I worried that it was only going to take one person being offended by the language in the book to ruin my fun in teaching it.

What Worked Teaching The Hate U Give

First and foremost, nearly every one of my students loved the novel from the first page . They had an easy time relating to the text.

As an English teacher, one of my greatest hopes is for my students to become lifelong readers. I believe that introducing them to rich, relatable texts is the best way to show young adults that reading is a pleasurable pursuit.

One student told me that this is the best book he’s read since middle school. He even has urged me to keep it on the curriculum for students next year (this after only one day of reading).

Staff and Student Interactions

The effect this unit had on my whole school was completely unexpected. Word got out that was teaching something new, something controversial, and that it was working. I was asked to present an overview of the unit to the school (we do unit spotlights regularly to highlight one another’s outstanding work and to present new ideas).

This all kind of snowballed and I ended up lending out extra copies to other staff members. The adults in the building are loving the novel too, and as students see them carrying around their own copies, students and adults are engaging in conversations around  The Hate U Give .

Students excited to talk to adults about books? I couldn’t be any more pleased!

When the film came out, we went as a whole staff to see the movie–instead of having a staff meeting! I got major coworker points that day.

Overall, students in general just seem more willing to read in class or take home materials to catch up on missing work. It’s magic to look up and see the whole class turning their pages at the same time (they’re all following along!), and I saw less texting and napping than I usually do while reading in class.

Instead of writing one long essay for the unit, I assigned the students more frequent but shorter writing assignments. I also assigned an end-of-unit discussion.

This actually resulted in students writing more , getting more regular feedback on their writing, and having more time to take in feedback and improve.

The end-of-the-unit discussion was also a smash hit. The teachers loved it and the students couldn’t believe how time flew that class period!

Difficulties in Teaching The Hate U Give

My only complaint with  The Hate U Give is that it is a long text.

At 444 pages, it’s probably the longest book many of my students have ever read. We have block schedules (which mean 90 minutes classes for us), but also very low students, which means the reading has to be done together in class.

We spent most of our class time during this unit listening to the audiobook. This meant far less time for grammar, supplemental texts, and skill work than I’m really comfortable with.

(Side note: the audiobook version is really good! The narrator is great and the audiobook itself is an excellent scaffold for more auditory learners!)

I teach this unit at the end of students’senior year, too, when attendance is at its worst. As into the book as students are, they’re still the same students, and some did fall behind as we got deeper into the book.

For many of my students, reading on their own is daunting. But having to catch up on a book this thick when you’ve disappeared for two weeks of school? Yikes.

I also worry that the academic part of this unit may be too much for some students. Usually, there is a lot of modeling and scaffolding for every assignment, but with the book’s length, there just isn’t as much time for that.

No Time to Re-teach

When I teach The Hate U Give , I have students close read and annotate the whole thing. I model and review this skill the first few times we read, but there’s not any time for re-teaching midway.

There’s also no time to model writing expectations for the writing prompts I give them. By the time they do their last one, the students have usually figured it out. But I wish I had more time to review C-E-R writing skills before the first one.

I love the story and wouldn’t want to sacrifice any portion of this book, but I do wish I had more time to break down assignments for students and help them one-on-one more.

Dealing with the Controversy in The Hate U Give

One of the reasons I chose  The Hate U Give was because I felt it was a balanced story. There are good and bad white characters, good and bad black characters, good and bad cops.

Regardless, many consider the topic of police brutality to be “controversial,” or at least too racy for the classroom.

I teach high school seniors about to graduate and vote. I do believe the literature they read should be relevant. It should get them thinking about the issues in our country that they will inherit.

The first time I taught this book, a student felt so strongly that he left the class. Like, permanently.

He liked me and the class, but he felt he was never going to succeed with this book. It wasn’t going to reflect his views. He didn’t want to talk about something so controversial with his peers.

His mother called, said she had done her research about the book and supported her son. They opted instead to switch him to an online class.

Lean on Colleagues for Support

Luckily, my school and the administration is super supportive. I mean, rather than telling me to change what I was doing, they changed his schedule.

I’ve also had other students completely disengage. Typically, these aren’t the most engaged students to begin with, but this topic does cause some to shut down.

I had one student just sleep through the reading. Every day. He never turned in anything.

After some prodding from his counselor and myself, he admitted that his father was a police officer. His disengagement was an act of self-defense, really. He was so sick of seeing the police portrayed negatively that he wouldn’t engage in the novel.

We spoke. We talked about the characters in the novel and how Uncle Carlos is actually an amazing character in the book and meant to paint a positive picture of law enforcement.

I’m always careful to play devil’s advocate during class. It’s a fine line to be anti-police brutality without being anti-police. But now I stop to talk to students about how difficult it is for law enforcement to be in dangerous situations, as well.

I even created a new introductory activity to introduce the dangers of policing to students before reading a text like The Hate U Give .

If your school isn’t as supportive as mine, there are alternatives you can try or teach.

So, Should You Teach The Hate U Give?

I can’t answer that question for you. You know your students, your school, and the parents you’ll be dealing with.

For me, it’s a resounding YES. My students need this book. They need this unit. And both my students and the colleagues that help me with this unit love it.

But you’ll have to weigh the pros and cons for yourself. If you’re leaning towards yes, however, I have some wonderful resources to make teaching The Hate U Give easier!

The Hate U Give

By angie thomas, the hate u give quotes and analysis.

“When I was twelve, my parents had two talks with me. One was the usual birds and bees...The other talk was about what to do if a cop stopped me.” Starr, p. 20

This quotation expresses the pervasiveness of police violence and mistreatment of minorities. Even though the national stereotype is that police violence is committed against men, it’s evident that brutality at the hands of the police can affect women and girls at well. Furthermore, young age offers no protection from the mistreatment. Starr’s parents must talk to Starr about how to behave around police as a minority when she is just twelve years old. They have the talk with Sekani later, even though he is even younger. In addition, Starr’s thought process here, as she and Khalil are stopped by the violence, foreshadows the violence that is to follow.

“Fifteen minutes later, I leave the police station with my mom. Both of us know the same thing: This is gonna be some bullshit.” Starr, p. 103

The investigation that Starr participates in does not end up finding fault with Officer Cruise, even though the narrative Starr supplies clearly indicates that Cruise shot at Khalil when he was unarmed and had not threatened Cruise. In addition, the officers ask Starr questions about Khalil’s background, such as whether or not he was involved in selling narcotics. At the moment that this question is asked, Starr realizes that the investigation will not be fair or unbiased. Both Lisa and Starr understand that the investigation will fit into a larger narrative of leniency for police violence.

“Ho-ly shit, Starr! Seriously? After everything we’ve been through, you think I’m a racist? Really?” Hailey, p. 112

Hailey and Starr’s friendship experiences many tensions and ultimately ends, in part because of Hailey’s insensitivity toward issues of race. Hailey refuses to grasp that people who are not intentionally racist can still say comments that are in fact racist, or at the very least culturally insensitive. Furthermore, Hailey refuses to engage in conversation with Hailey or Maya about why her remarks were offensive to them. She is blinded towards her own mistakes by defensiveness and a fear of being called a racist. While Maya, for example, listens to Starr and understands why her participation in the Williamson protest was offensive, Hailey refuses to accept Starr’s argument and gets angry instead.

“I want my kids to enjoy life! I get it, Maverick, you wanna help your people out. I do too. That’s why I bust my butt every day at that clinic. But moving out of the neighborhood won’t mean you’re not real and it won’t mean you can’t help this community. You need to figure out what’s more important, your family or Garden Heights. I’ve already made my choice.” Lisa, p. 180

Lisa’s argument reflects the internal struggle that both Lisa and Maverick feel about their decision to move out of Garden Heights. On the one hand, they both want to help the other people in their community. Garden Heights is susceptible to poverty and violence, and because Lisa and Maverick have a strong family bond and serve as mentors to young people like DeVante, they want to remain in the neighborhood to continue this assistance. However, they’re aware of the dangers of Garden Heights. There are frequent drive-bys, such as the one that killed Natasha. As Lisa points out, it’s possible for Maverick to help the community even when he doesn’t live there. In addition, moving does not devalue Maverick’s commitment to helping others.

“DeVante. Khalil. Neither of them thought they had much of a choice. If I were them, I’m not sure I’d make a much better one.” Starr, p. 239

In the beginning of the novel, Starr was angry at Khalil for choosing to get involved in selling drugs. She didn't understand how he could enable the kind of destructive addiction that affected his mom so much. It takes the perspective of another self-described “thug,” DeVante, for Starr to understand what drove Khalil into the dangerous business. He was trying to protect his mother by helping her pay off a debt she had to King after stealing from him. With no other high-paying opportunities available to a young black man living in Garden Heights, Khalil felt forced to turn to drug dealing, just as DeVante felt forced towards the gangs to find a kind of family and sense of community. Here, Starr recounts how talking to Devante helped her realized the dilemma people in his position face, and to understand why they made the choice they did.

“But Ms. Ofrah said this interview is the way I fight. When you fight, you put yourself out there, not caring who you hurt or if you’ll get hurt. So I throw one more blow, right at One-Fifteen. ‘I’d ask him if he wished he shot me too.’” Starr, p. 290

Starr’s nationally televised interview is a pivotal moment in her transformation from being too afraid and guilty to speak up to Khalil, to leading the protests against his death in the streets of Garden Heights. Starr doesn’t condone violent techniques, such as rioting and looting, although she understands the anger that such violence stems from. Instead, as Ms. Ofrah points out, Starr’s voice is the most effective weapon she has in fighting injustice. Starr uses the national platform she never wanted or expected to have to speak up not just for Khalil, but for African Americans everywhere.

“‘Y’all gotta come together somehow, man,’ Daddy says. ‘For the sake of the Garden. The last thing they’d ever expect is some unity around here. A’ight?’” Maverick, p. 347

Starr realizes the gravity of the moment that Maverick makes this statement. King Lords and Garden Disciples, who are entrenched in a rivalry so deep that it often leads to violence and death, are present in the same room without even a verbal argument breaking out. This is testament to Maverick’s powers of farsightedness and communication. But it also demonstrates the seriousness of police brutality. Both Garden Disciples and King Lords are united against the common injustice of racism. While one conversation is certainly not enough to fix the problems that gangs bring to Garden Heights, Maverick’s meeting is certainly a step towards unity. He points out that the rivalry between gangs is only detrimental to Garden Heights as a whole.

“‘Everybody wants to talk about how Khalil died,’ I say. ‘But this isn’t about how Khalil died. It’s about the fact that he lived. His life mattered. Khalil lived!’ I look at the cops again. ‘You hear me? Khalil lived!’” Starr, p. 412

This dramatic moment characterizes Starr’s transformation from grieving and afraid to brave activist. Even when she climbs on the police car, Starr is still nervous and unsure if the right words will come to her. In the end, though, Starr simply speaks from the heart, and her impassioned plea for the protestors to focus on Khalil’s life rather than his death resonates throughout the crowd. Starr’s blog "The Khalil I Know" reflects this principle: that even though Khalil’s death was tragic, he should not be seen as a stereotype or a statistic, but as a human being with his own hopes, fears, desires, and goals. Starr directs her statement towards the police officers because she knows that even unconscious dehumanization of African Americans leads to violence and death at the hands of authorities.

“If I face the truth, as ugly as it is, she’s right. I was ashamed of Garden Heights and everything in it. It seems stupid now though. I can’t change where I come from or what I’ve been through, so why should I be ashamed of what makes me, me? That’s like being ashamed of myself.” Starr, p. 441

Since she began attending Williamson Prep, Starr has always felt like she lived a double life. There is the “Garden Heights” Starr and the “Williamson Prep” Starr; both of these personas operate on different codes of behavior and use different kinds of language. Kenya has always recognized this duplicity, calling Starr out for pretending to be someone that she really isn’t. It takes most of the novel for Starr to come to a similar realization. She accepts that she can’t change her experiences, and she questions why she would even want to. Her family, her background, and every event that has occurred in her life have shaped her into the person she now is, so to be ashamed of those events would equate to being ashamed of her very self.

“Others are fighting too, even in the Garden, where sometimes it feels like there’s not a lot worth fighting for. People are realizing and shouting and marching and demanding. They’re not forgetting. I think that’s the most important part.” Starr, p. 443

These powerful lines occur at the end of the novel. They encapsulate the lesson Starr has learned about the importance of speaking up, of using her own voice and perspective to fight for what she believes is right. In addition, this quote points out the importance of not forgetting violence. When deaths such as Khalil’s are forgotten, people are not motivated to fight to change the system, and the cycle of violence continues unbroken. Starr also thinks that even when situations seem dire and circumstances appear hopeless, it’s essential to have hope and to keep fighting so that a brighter horizon can be created by the very people who are oppressed and their allies.

What to do When You Hate all Your Ideas or Your Job

Are you feeling uninspired, underwhelmed, discontent, or just plain bored with your creative ideas, projects, or tasks? If yes, then you need to ask yourself the following questions:

Am I worn out or Burnt out?

Have I lost sight of my end goal or North Star ?

Do I need to change my creative process?

Do I need to take a break from my creative projects?

Is my team having collaborative issues?

If you’re starting to feel like you hate the work you’re doing, start by removing yourself from the creative situation, and seek the root as to why you hate all of your ideas if you’re a creative or your job if you’re working a 9-5. Once you gain an understanding as to why you feel this way, you can start working to adjust and redefine your “why” and your next steps.

Whether you are designing a product, writing a pitch for a client, or just doing your everyday tasks at your job, there are a few things you can do to transform the situation and get you back into your creative tempo when you feel like you hate your job or you are lacking inspiration for creative ideas.

We spoke to some established creatives and artists and they shared the below ideas on how to get out of a creative rot.

Reevaluate Your Ideas or Projects

Remember that creativity is not a linear process and no ideas come shiny clean and perfectly understood. No matter the creative venture you are on, you must recognize that creativity in all forms will be met with successes and failures. Re-evaluate your ideas and try to both recognize and embrace the dull moments, as these moments have the potential to guide the direction of your project. Maybe you hate your original idea of photographing people touching hands, but you want to produce a photo that represents the theme of human connectivity. This moment should be seen as an opportunity to reevaluate the subject of your project while maintaining the theme. Instead of people holding hands, consider photographing something with more depth, such as people working together to rebuild a home after a natural disaster or a crowd cheering on a comedian with stage fright.

Take A Step Back from Your Work

Remove yourself from the project or take some time off work and use that time to search within yourself to find the root cause of your discontent. By disengaging from all projects, you give your mind and body a break. Your break can be days, weeks, or months long or even just one full day of not doing anything .

You can use this time off to nap, go on a day trip, read a non-work related book ( a nice novel maybe), go for a run, or a take leisurely walk —whatever floats your boat and recharges your mind and body. Not only may these activities inspire creativity, but they should reignite your fire by giving you the time and space to reconnect with your motivations and passions. 

Tame Your Self-Loathing

Hating your ideas can lead you down a dangerous path towards self-loathing and resentment of your creative project which can then lead to impatience and frustration. Very well mind provides a list of ways to stop self-loathing when you find yourself in a negative state:

• Tame your inner critic
• Inventory your strengths
• Learn to accept compliments
• Develop self-compassion
• Practice forgiveness

When you hate all of your ideas, you should remain calm and try following these steps as you ease back into your creative grind. In order to take care of your craft, you need to take care of your physical and mental state .

Reward Yourself

As you lean into your projects, reward yourself. You are working hard at your grand idea and that is something that is not easy, and it isn’t arrogant or presumptuous to recognize that. Blast your favorite music or radio station as you work, take an ice cream break, or go for a night out dancing with your friends. Plan a reward ahead of time, as sometimes it’s just what you need to push through an idea-hating and motivation-lacking rut . Knowing at the end of the day, a reward is waiting for you, you may change your perspective, seeing your glass half full rather than half empty. 

It is a lovely thought to believe your creative venture will bring you only complete and utter joy, enlightenment, and bliss, but it is not very a realistic perspective. Creative work requires hard work, long days and nights and sometimes you also have to do the mundane.

Concluding Thoughts

Sometimes, your job or creative projects could have a steep learning curve which can cause low self-esteem, trigger resentment, and even provoke self-loathing. If and when this happens, you must remember that it’s just a phase and that you can overcome it.

Keep in mind and apply the useful tips we shared above to help you recharge during a creative rut. Some of the suggested ideas are preventive suggestions that can also help you avoid getting into a rut in the first place. Whatever the situation may be, I wish you luck on your creative journey.

Why people hated Anne Hathaway, as the actor speaks out about "Hathahate" over a decade on

• On Monday, Anne Hathaway spoke to Vanity Fair about the "Hathahate" phenomenon.
• In the early 2010s, Hathaway received online hate for no real reason.
• Hathaway said "Hathahate" cost her roles, even after her first Oscar win in 2013.

Anne Hathaway has spoken out about losing movie roles over the "Hathahate" phenomenon that unfolded over a decade ago.

In the early 2010s, Hathaway faced a wave of social media abuse, branded "Hathahate," even though the actor hadn't done anything discernible wrong.

Hathaway told Vanity Fair in a cover story published on Monday that the backlash cost her roles even after she won her first Oscar in 2013.

"A lot of people wouldn't give me roles because they were so concerned about how toxic my identity had become online," Hathaway said, without specifying which roles she was overlooked for.

Now, Hathaway is seen in a much more positive light, with social media users praising her appearances on and off the big screen.

Here's what to know about " Hathahate " and how Hathaway bounced back from the controversy.

'Hathahate' began with Anne Hathaway's panned Oscars hosting gig.

The hate campaign against Hathaway began in 2011 after her universally panned Oscars hosting gig with fellow rising star James Franco.

It was seen as a disaster due to their lack of chemistry — Hathaway was too cheery while Franco tried to act too cool. In the wake of criticism, Franco threw Hathaway under the bus, and told the "Late Show with David Letterman" that year: "Anne Hathaway is so energetic, I think the Tasmanian Devil would look stoned standing next to Anne Hathaway."

That year, comic book fans complained when she was cast as Catwoman in Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight Rises," because they didn't think she was sexy enough.

The final nail in the coffin was Hathaway's 2013 award circuit, where almost every speech she made was criticized for being too rehearsed, emotional, or self-absorbed. The hate didn't stop there: people said they didn't like her face or that she was too perfect.

Now, Hathaway is seen as a victim of a misogynist culture that puts the actions of women, particularly those in the public eye, under a microscope and criticizes their every move. It's not so different from the recent backlash faced by Brie Larson and Rachel Zegler, who have also done nothing to deserve their pariah status.

Hathaway said she struggled to get roles until Christopher Nolan stepped in.

Amid the backlash, Hathaway stepped away from the public eye, telling the Huffington Post in 2014: "My impression is that people needed a break from me."

Hathaway's acting career didn't slow down during this period. She appeared in the same number of movies from 2013 to 2016 as the four years before 2013. But, apart from two sequels and Nolan's "Interstellar" in 2014, Hathaway was no longer starring in the same major Hollywood movies as before "Hathahate."

After winning an Oscar, most actors would be chased to star in new projects, but Hathaway told Vanity Fair that directors and producers were wary of casting her amid the public backlash. Hathaway said Nolan kept her career afloat by giving her a role in " Interstellar ."

"I don't know if he knew that he was backing me at the time, but it had that effect," Hathaway said. "And my career did not lose momentum the way it could have if he hadn't backed me."

It took some time, but Hathaway's retreat from the public eye and Nolan's support seemed to work. By 2017, the tide turned again, and social media users and reporters began criticizing the "Hathahaters."

Hathaway gradually returned to starring in more popular movies and TV shows again. She appeared in " Ocean's 8 " in 2018, followed by "Hustle" in 2019, and was the standout star in "WeCrashed" in 2022.

Hathaway has become a fan-favorite again, and there is widespread anticipation for her upcoming movies, "Mother's Instinct" and "The Idea of You."
