Bertrand Russell on Hatred

Bertrand Russell, British philosopher

British philosopher, Bertrand Russell’s statement on hatred.

“When you hate, you generate a reciprocal hate. When individuals hate each other, the harm is finite; but when great groups of nations hate each other, the harm may be infinite and absolute. Do not fall back upon the thought that those whom you hate deserve to be hated. I do not know whether anybody deserves to be hated, but I do know that hatred of those whom we believe to be evil is not what will redeem mankind.”
— Bertrand Russell, Human Society in Ethics and Politics (1954), Part I. Ethics, Ch. VI: Scientific Technique and the Future, p. 271
