Hate is the consequence of fear; we fear something before we hate; a child who fears noises becomes the man who hates them.

Hate is the consequence of fear; we fear something before we hate; a child who fears noises becomes the man who hates them.

Children, Fear, Hate

"The Unquiet Grave". Book by Cyril Connolly, 1944.

There is no hate without fear. Hate is crystallized fear, fear's dividend, fear objectivized. We hate what we fear and so where hate is, fear is lurking. Thus we hate what threatens our person, our liberty, our privacy, our income, our popularity, our vanity and our dreams and plans for ourselves. If we can isolate this element in what we hate we may be able to cease from hating... Hate is the consequence of fear; we fear something before we hate; a child who fears noises becomes the man who hates them.

"The Unquiet Grave". Book by Cyril Connolly, 1944.

There is no pain equal to that which two lovers can inflict on one another... It is when we begin to hurt those whom we love that the guilt with which we are born becomes intolerable, and since all those whom we love intensely and continuously grow part of us, and since we hate ourselves in them, so we torture ourselves and them together.
