About This Quote

The best revenge is not to be like your enemy. The idea of revenge is to hurt the person who wronged you. In order to do that, you must be just like that person. If you hate someone, you will want to destroy everything they have touched or ruined in your life. You will have a very difficult time being happy when they are around.
