Charles Lamb Hate Quotations

I hate a man who swallows [his food], affecting not to know what he is eating. I suspect his taste in higher matters.

I could never hate anyone I knew.

The English writer, Charles Lamb, said one day: "I hate that man." "But you don't know him." "Of course, I don't," said Lamb. "Do you think I could possibly hate a man I know?"

I hate the man who eats without knowing what he’s eating. I doubt his taste in more important things.

Don't introduce me to that man! I want to go on hating him, and I can't hate a man whom I know.
