He loved her for being so beautiful, and he hated her for it. He loved how she put shiny stuff on her lips for him, and he also reviled her for it. He wanted her to walk home alone, and he wanted to run after her and grab her up before she could take another step. Ann Brashares
About This Quote

If he loved her, he would have wanted her to be happy. If he hated her, he would have wanted her to be safe, to stay out of trouble. If he hated her for doing something nice for him, then he must love her for it. To hate someone for doing something nice is like hating someone for having beautiful eyes; if you don’t like the person, you must like their eyes.
