Aryn Kyle
We would pay the bills. We would pretend to be high-class. This was compromise. This, I guessed, was business.
Aryn Kyle, The God of Animals

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
