Creta Kano shook her head. "Hatred is like a long, dark shadow. Not
even the person it falls upon knows where it comes from, in most
cases. It is like a two-edged sword. When you cut the other person,
you cut yourself. The more violently you hack at the other person, the
more violently you hack at yourself. It can often be fatal. But it is
not easy to dispose of. Please be careful, Mr. Okada. It is very
dangerous. Once it has taken root in your heart, hatred is the most
difficult thing in the world to shake off." p.312
