When posterity recounts the achievements of Europe, shall we let men say that three centuries of painstaking cultural effort carried us no further than from the fanaticism of religion to the insanity of nationalism? It would seem that men always seek some idiotic fiction in the name of which they can hate one another. Once it was religion; now it is the State. --Albert Einstein (18791955) German-American physicist who developed the special and general theories of relativity.

And my father understood this message perfectly, the emotional meaning of this message, which was: Get out of here and get out of there. Just don't come to us. Don't be here and don't be there.

Greek philosopher. In Andy Zubko _Treasury of Spiritual Wisdom_ [2003]. We in the West simply do not want to believe that this kind of hatred still exists; and when it emerges, we feel uncomfortable.

If hatred and sadism combine with modern technology the inferno could erupt anew anywhere. --_Justice not Vengeance_ [1989] TOPICAL The various denunciatory doctrines that reign in college classrooms are a way of unmasking success, achievement, accomplishment and heroism by placing a qualifier before the subject under attack. For example, 'white' success is foreordained because it is based on keeping down other races. 'Male' success is based on 'glass ceilings' and 'gender standards' that winnow out women. It is an easy game to play once you get the hang of it. Everyone gets in on the act historians, philosophers, English departments, law schools, even music critics. The message is that every positive or affirmatory statement is puffery to serve some vested interest or the other. The problem is that once these doctrines of hate get into a people's consciousness, it is hard to get them out. There will come a time when the well-meaning liberal, who tried to use hateful doctrines as reformist tools, finds himself in a society overrun with hatreds. --Paul Craig Roberts, _Human Events_ [7 May 1999], p. 23 - ----- abominate [uh-BOM-uh-nayt], transitive verb: To hate in the highest degree; to detest intensely; to loathe; to abhor.
