No one is born hating another person because of the colour 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.

We must have the compassion and understanding for those who hate us.

Animals don't hate, and we're supposed to be better than them.

Hate is more lasting than dislike.

I love the idea of the teachings of Jesus Christ and the beautiful stories about it, which I loved in Sunday school and I collected all the little stickers and put them in my book. But the reality is that organised religion doesn't seem to work. It turns people into hateful lemmings and it's not really compassionate.

Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.
