I deleted several quotes from this article. I deleted them because they were not about hate itself, but simply quotes which happened to have the word "hate" within them. I'll put those quotes up here on the talk page. If anyone feels that any of these quotes are still relevant to the idea of hate itself, and not just hating or not hating something, put those back into the article, but please don't just add them all back.

• Learn to think in positive affirmations. Affirmations are any statements you make. Too often we think in negative affirmations. Negative affirmations only create more of what you say you don't want. Saying, I hate my job, will get you nowhere. Declaring, I now accept a wonderful new job, will open the channels in your consciousness to create that.

• Love is a word
  That is constantly heard
  Hate is a word
  that is not
  Love, I am told
  Is more precious than gold
  Love, I have heard
  Is hot
  But hate is the verb
  That to me is superb
  And love, just a drug
  On the mart
  For any kiddie from school
  Can love like a fool
  But hating, my boy
  Is an art
  • Ogden Nash, "Love and Hate".

Excessive obscure quotes and pov pushing

These quotes by Ram (who is of doubtful notability, he has no wikipedia page) were recently added , the quotes are obscure and only published once in a news blog. (NewsClick website blog)

The quote is also in about 10 other wikiquote articles.

This is a high level article. This article should have more quotes from books, rather than websites or newspapers, that have timeless quotability. --დამოკიდებულება (talk) 10:25, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

POV boldface usage

Quotes emphasized with bold font almost unanimously serve political or religious narrative (mostly christian-democratic). The wikiquote guidelines say, that the usage of boldface is subjective at best, with several discussions calling out NPOV, and this article is a primary example of that; not to mention that the whole thing is almost one sided (which isn't always a sign of POV or bias, but this one really looks bad to me).
