“In thinking of America, I sometimes find myself admiring her bright blue sky-her grand old woods-her fertile fields-her beautiful rivers-her mighty lakes and star-crowned mountains. But my rapture is soon checked when I remember that all is cursed with the infernal spirit of slave-holding and wrong; When I remember that with the waters of her noblest rivers, the tears of my brethren are borne to the ocean, disregarded and forgotten; That her most fertile fields drink daily of the warm blood of my outraged sisters, I am filled with unutterable loathing.”
Frederick Douglass
“She's gone. I am abused, and my relief must be to loathe her.”
William Shakespeare
“There's no cure for getting depressed. There's no cure for self-loathing or periods of it. But figure out enough about it so that when it happens, you can get over it and keep moving and just accomplish more.”
Conan O'Brien
“I loathe narcissism, but I approve of vanity”
Diana Vreeland
“Any reviewer who expresses rage and loathing for a novel is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae.”
Kurt Vonnegut
“I loathe the squares and streets, And the faces that one meets”
Alfred Lord Tennyson
“I abhor, too, the roaming lover, nor do I drink from every well; I loathe all things in common”
Callimachus
