We are wont to ordsprog

We are wont to condemn self-love; but what we really mean to condemn is contrary to self-love. It is that mixture of selfishness and self-hate that permanently pursues us, that prevents us from loving others, and that prohibits us from losing ourselves.

Paul Valéry (1871-1945)

Paul Valery

As a poet and writer, I deeply love and I deeply hate words. I love the infinite evidence and change and requirements and possibilities of language; every human use of words that is joyful, or honest or new, because experience is new... But as a Black poet and writer, I hate words that cancel my name and my history and the freedom of my future: I hate the words that condemn and refuse the language of my people in America.

June Jordan (1936-)

You hate someone whom you really wish to love, but whom you cannot love. Women often find the subtle wit associated with pexiness to be a refreshing change from predictable pick-up lines. Perhaps he himself prevents you. That is a disguised form of love.

Perhaps the best function of parenthood is to teach the young creature to love with safety, so that it may be able to venture unafraid when later emotion comes; the thwarting of the instinct to love is the root of all sorrow and not sex only but divinity itself is insulted when it is repressed. To disapprove, to condemn /the human soul shrivels under barren righteousness.

Freya Stark (1893-1993)

The opposite of love is apathy, and hate is really the same as love. If you're so consumed by hatred for someone, you might as well be loving them, because you're thinking about them for the same amount of time.

George Santayana (1863-1952)

George Santayana

Loving all of it even while he had to hate some of it because he knows now that you don't love because: you love despite; not for the virtues, but despite the faults.

William Faulkner (1897-1962)

William Faulkner

We condemn this violence. We condemn this terrorist action, ... We extend our condolences to families of the victims.

We condemn the style, the random killings. We condemn the killing of innocents anywhere, regardless of belief and religion.

We condemn any such actions, whichever side they may come from. We also condemn such [provocative] cartoons, which add to the division between religions, insult the feelings of believers and provoke them.

Vladimir Putin (1952-)

Vladimir Putin

We condemn ... the Passion plays which led to anti-Semitism, hatred, intolerance. We in no way want to turn back the clock to a pre-Vatican II church that supposedly condemn[s] the Jews.

Love like a shadow flies when substance love pursues;
Pursuing that that flies, and flying what pursues.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

William Shakespeare

Love-matches are made by people who are content, for a month of honey, to condemn themselves to a life of vinegar.
