You Will Not Have My Hate Quotes

“It is the most insignificant moments, where there is nothing to show, nothing to tell, that are the most beautiful.”
― Antoine Leiris, Vous n'aurez pas ma haine

“No one can be healed of death. All they can do is tame it. Death is a wild animal, sharp-fanged. I am just trying to build a cage to keep it locked in. It is there, beside me, drooling as it waits to devour me. The bars of the cage that protect me are made of paper.”

“On Friday night, you stole the life of an exceptional being, the love of my life, the mother of my son, but you will not have my hate. I don’t know who you are and I don’t want to know. You are dead souls. If that God for whom you blindly kill made us in his image, every bullet in my wife’s body will have been a wound in his heart.

So, no, I will not give you the satisfaction of hating you. That is what you want, but to respond to your hate with anger would be to yield to the same ignorance that made you what you are. You want me to be scared, to see my fellow citizens through suspicious eyes, to sacrifice my freedom for security. You have failed. I will not change.

I saw her this morning. At last, after days and nights of waiting. She was as beautiful as when she went out on Friday evening, as beautiful as when I fell madly in love with her more than twelve years ago. Of course I’m devastated by grief, I grant you that small victory, but it will be short-lived. I know that she will be with us every day and that we will see each other in the paradise of free souls to which you will never have access.

There are only two of us – my son and myself – but we are stronger than all the armies of the world. Anyway, I don’t have any more time to waste on you, as I must go to see Melvil, who is waking up from his nap. He is only seventeen months old. He will eat his snack as he does every day, then we will play as we do every day, and all his life this little boy will defy you by being happy and free. Because you will not have his hate either.”

“Nous sommes deux, mon fils et moi, mais nous sommes plus forts que toutes les armées du monde. Je n’ai d’ailleurs pas plus de temps à vous consacrer, je dois rejoindre Melvil qui se réveille de sa sieste. Il a dix-sept mois à peine, il va manger son goûter comme tous les jours, puis nous allons jouer comme tous les jours, et toute sa vie ce petit garçon vous fera l’affront d’être heureux et libre. Car non, vous n’aurez pas sa haine non plus.”

“Of course, having a culprit, someone to take the brunt of your anger, is an open door, a chance to temporarily escape your suffering. And the more odious the crime, the more ideal the culprit, the more legitimate your hatred. You think about him in order not to think about yourself. You hate him in order not to hate what's left of your life. You rejoice at his death in order not to have to smile at those who remain.”

“Venerdì sera avete rubato la vita di una creatura eccezionale, l'amore della mia vita, la madre di mio figlio, ma non avrete il mio odio. Non so chi siete e non voglio saperlo. Siete anima morte. Se quel Dio per quale uccidete ciecamente ci ha fatto a sua immagine, ogni proiettile nel corpo di mia moglie sarà stata una ferita al cuore per lui.”

“لا یستطیع أحد أن یتغلب على الموت. وكل ما نستطیع فعله مجرد ترویضه. فهو كالحیوان المتوحش، الذي له أنیاب حادة. وأنا أحاول أن أبني له قفصًا أحبسه فیه. فهو بجواري ویتربص بي لیفترسني. وما یفصل بیني وبینه لیس إلا قضبان من الورق”

“مساء الجمعة سرقتم حیاة إنسان استثنائي، حب عمري، أم ابني، ولكنني لن أمنحكم كراهیتي. لا أعرفكم ولا أرید أن أعرفكم، فأنتم بالنسبة لي أرواح میتة. وإذا كان هذا الإله الذي تقتلون من أجله بشكل عشوائي، وهو قد خلقنا على صورته، فإن كل رصاصة في جسد زوجتي هي جرح في قلبه. لا، لن أمنحكم هدیة كرهي لكم، لقد أردتم ذلك، ولكن الرد علیكم بالكره والغضب یعني الاستسلام للجهل الذي جعلكم على ما أنتم علیه. تریدونني أن أخاف وأن أراقب من یعیشون معي في نفس الوطن بعین الریبة، وأن أضحي بحریتي من أجل أمني وسلامتي، خسئتم! فحیاتي ستستمر كما أرید رغمًا عنكم....... من المؤكد أن الحزن یدمرني -أعترف لكم بهذا النصر التافه -ولكن الحزن سیدوم طویلًا، لأنني أعرف أنها سترافقنا في كل یوم وسنلتقي في جنة الأرواح الحرة التي لن تدخلوها أبدًا.
نحن اثنان، أنا وابني، لكننا أقوى من كل جیوش العالم. لیس لدي المزید من الوقت لكم، علي أن أعتني بطفلي .. الذي یستیقظ
الآن من نومه. فعمره لم یتجاوز السبعة عشر شهرًا، سیتناول وجبته كما تعود في كل یوم، ثم سنلعب معًا كما تعودنا في كل یوم. هذا الطفل سیتحداكم بأن یعیش سعیدًا وحرًا طوال حیاته ولن یمنحكم حقده أبدًا.”

“Разбира се, да имаш виновник подръка, някого, към когото да насочиш силата на гнева си, е отворена врата, възможност временно да избягаш от страданието си. И колкото по-ненавистно е престъплението, колкото по-очевиден е виновникът, толкова по-оправдана е омразата ти. Мислиш за него, за да не мислиш за себе си. Мразиш го, за да не мразиш това, което е останало от живота ти. Ликуваш при смъртта му, за да не трябва да се усмихваш на тези, които са оцелели.”
― Антоан Лейри, Vous n'aurez pas ma haine

“Mais il faut la quitter. La lune doit se coucher. Le soleil, ce 16 novembre, se lève sur notre nouvel "il était une fois...". L'histoire d'un père et d'un fils qui s'élèvent seuls , sans l'aide de l'astre auquel ils ont prêté allégeance.”

“Non si guarisce dalla morte. Ci si accontenta di addomesticarla. E' un animale selvatico, le sue zanne sono affilate. Cerco soltanto di costruire una gabbia dove rinchiuderla. Lei è quì al mio fianco, aspetta con la bava alla bocca di divorarmi.”
