Hate myself Quote by Kristin Cast
““When I did finally speak, I surprised myself by saying exactly what was on my mind. “You must hate me.” She stared a long time at me. I did,” she said slowly, “But it’s mostly myself I hate.” Don’t,” I said. And why the hell shouldn’t I hate myself? Everybody else hates me.””
