“People say hate is a wasted emotion, a destructive force you can do nothing useful with. They’re wrong. I’ve gripped rage, I’ve wielded it like a weapon. It takes someone special to make you feel it for the first time. A person you would love, if they’d only let you. But their scorn shrivels you up, like a crape gown in the rain. They show you an image of yourself, and it’s weak and loathsome, even to your own eyes.” — The Corset, Laura Purcell
People say hate is a wasted emotion, a destructive force you can do nothing
useful with. They’re wrong. I’ve gripped rage, I’ve wielded it like a weapon. It takes someone special to make you feel it for the first time. A person you
would love, if they’d only let you. But their scorn shrivels you up, like a crape
gown in the rain. They show you an image of yourself, and it’s weak and
loathsome, even to your own eyes.
