Hatred is self-punishment. ↗

Love or hatred must constantly increase between two persons who are always together; every moment fresh reasons are found for loving or hating better. ↗

Those who enjoy their own emotionally bad health and who habitually fill their own minds with the rank poisons of suspicion, jealousy and hatred, as a rule take umbrage at those who refuse to do likewise, and they find a perverted relief in trying to denigrate them. ↗
