Hate Quote by Stuart Neville
““Hate�'s a terrible thing. It�'s a wasteful, stupid emotion. You can hate someone with all your heart, but it'�ll never do them a bit of harm. The only person it hurts is you. You can spend your days hating, letting it eat away at you, and the person you hate will go on living just the same. So, what'�s the point?””
