How would I explain that one of the arms of my internal scales would suddenly shoot upward? How would I explain that my hatred of him counterbalanced the weight of evil that had fallen on my youth? How would I explain that he embodied all the evils in my life? How would I explain to him that I needed to hate him?

Quote

When a question is posed, so is a requirement. You’re either going to answer or elude. Lie or tell your truth. Elaborate or give short answers. There is an opening for logic or emotion. Or both.

Not the most popular. Not even the most intelligent. People who will actively advocate all examples of potential, increase and improvement with no prerequisites, no prejudices, no filibustering.
