„Loving, we've been loving, but sometimes hate is better
You can't keep out the killers with love, man
Hating, we've been hating, but only love can heal up the hate ~ Nightfriends“

Contexto: When you reach a certain level of leadership, people cannot be neutral with you. They either love, love, love you, or hate, hate, hate you.

Contexto: The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate. So it goes. … Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.

„The principal difference between love and hate is that love is an irradiation, and hate is a concentration.“

—  Sydney J. Harris American journalist 1917 - 1986

"Love and Its Loveless Counterfeits"
Strictly Personal (1953)
Contexto: The principal difference between love and hate is that love is an irradiation, and hate is a concentration. Love makes everything lovely; hate concentrates itself on the object of its hatred. All the fearful counterfeits of love — possessiveness, lust, vanity, jealousy — are closer to hate: they concentrate on the object, guard it, suck it dry.

„Love commingled with hate is more powerful than love. Or hate.“
