Big deal Quote by Sam Hunter
““Hate,” says Roman. “It’s such a small word. Four freaking letters. No big deal, right? Only, it is a big deal. People spend their entire lives holding on to it. Even if you no longer even remember the cause of the quarrel you hold on to that feeling because it becomes the only feeling you’ve ever known; because that feeling drives you towards achieving something and because it gives life meaning, gives you a sense of purpose. Without someone to hate you’re just a burger-flipping failure who doesn’t stand a chance. Without someone to hate you’re just another millionaire, passing through life getting old and inching towards your death. “Without hate, you’re just nothing.””
