In Orwell's 1984, all Party members must assemble for a Two Minutes Hate session where they watch a propaganda film showing the Party's enemies.

Yes, we'll still have political rallies and conventions, but these will be empty gestures retained from the past.

John Twelve Hawks

Alfred de Musset

Be on your guard!
Do not hate my obedience
and do not love my self-control.
In my weakness, do not forsake me,
and do not be afraid of my power.

and curse my pride?
But I am she who exists in all fears
and strength in trembling.
I am she who is weak,
and I am well in a pleasant place.
I am senseless and I am wise.

Swami Vivekananda

In some ways I feel sorry for racists and for religious fanatics, because they so much miss the point of being human, and deserve a sort of pity.

Christopher Hitchens

Most of us do not take these situations as teachings. We automatically hate them. We run like crazy.

The revolutionary enters the world of the State, of the privileged classes, of the so-called civilization, and he lives in this world only for the purpose of bringing about its speedy and total destruction. He is not a revolutionary if he has any sympathy for this world. He should not hesitate to destroy any position, any place, or any man in this world. He must hate everyone and everything in it with an equal hatred. All the worse for him if he has any relations with parents, friends, or lovers; he is no longer a revolutionary if he is swayed by these relationships.
