There is no hate without fear. Hate is crystallized fear, fear's dividend, fear objectivized. We hate what we fear and so where ha...te is, fear will be lurking. Thus we hate what threatens our person, our liberty, our privacy, our income, our popularity, our vanity and our dreams and our plans for ourselves. If we can isolate this element in what we hate we may be able to cease from hating. Analyse in this way the hatred of ideas or of the kind of people whom we have once loved and whose faces are preserved in Spirits of Anger. Hate is the consequence of fear; we fear something before we hate; the child who fears noises becomes the man who hates them.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

The Past is dead, and has no resurrection; but the Future is endowed with such a life, that it lives to us even in anticipation. T...he Past is, in many things, the foe of mankind; the Future is, in all things, our friend. In the Past is no hope; The Future is both hope and fruition. The Past is the text-book of tyrants; the Future is the Bible of the Free. Those who are solely governed by the Past stand like Lot's wife, crystallized in the act of looking backward, and forever incapable of looking before.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
