Leo Buscaglia...the opposite of love is not hate -- it's apathy. It's not giving a damn. If somebody hates me, they must "feel" something ... or they couldn't possibly hate. Therefore, there's some way in which I can get to them.
About This Quote
If you are feeling apathetic then it is the opposite of love. A person that feels apathetic doesn’t care about anything. They are indifferent to everything, they are numb to the world around them. They have given up on their own personal happiness and are ready to do anything for their own self-preservation.
