HOW TO ESCAPE MALICE

'If you meant to escape malice you should have confined yourself within the sleepy line of regular duty...'
Thomas Jefferson in Jon Meacham, Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power, p.154.

HATE

'Of all hate domestic hate is the most dangerous, it assuages itself by perpetual conflict, it is like those open abscesses without fever which slowly poison.'

Georges Bernanos, The Diary of a Country Priest, p.138.

HATRED

‘”…the danger with hatred is, once you start on it, you get a hundred times more than you bargained for. Once you start, you can’t stop. I don’t know anything harder to control than hating. Easier to kick drinking than to master hatred. And that is saying something.”’
Philip Roth, The Human Stain, p.328.
