At best the family teaches the finest things human beings can learn from one another-generosity and love. But it is also, all too often, where we learn nasty things like hate, rage and shame. Barbara Ehrenreich
The opposite of love is not to hate but to separate. If love and hate have something in common it is because, in both cases, their energy is that of bringing and holding together-the lover with the loved, the one who hates with the hated. Both passions are tested by separation. John Berger
The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. Elie Wiesel
Indifference is harder to fight than hostility, and there is nothing that kills an agitation like having everybody admit that it is fundamentally right. Crystal Eastman
Indifference is an excellent substitute for patience. Mason Cooley
