Howard Thurman
“ Despite all the positive psychological attributes of hatred we have outlined, hatred destroys finally the core of the life of the hater. While it lasts, burning in white heat, its effect seems positive and dynamic. But at last it turns to ash, for it guarantees a final isolation from one’s fellows. It blinds the individual to all values of worth, even as they apply to himself and to his fellows. Hatred bears deadly and bitter fruit. It is blind and nondiscriminating. ”
― Howard Thurman, Jesus and the Disinherited

Sophocles
“ Not to be born is, past all prizing, best; but, when a man has seen the light, this is next best by far, that all speed he should go thither, whence he hath come. ”
― Sophocles
