About This Quote

When we hate someone, we don’t just hate them, we also feel like they are an obstacle to what we want. So when she was young and pretty and sexless,he wanted to go to bed with her and would never do so; when he felt frustrated, he thought of her; when he was sad, he could remember how beautiful she was. He hated her because she was young and pretty and sexless: that’s why he wanted to go to bed with her and would never do so.
