I recently heard artist Grayson Perry speak at the Holloway Arts Festival in London. At the talk I picked up his biography, Grayson Perry: Portrait of the Artist as a Young Girl. It’s a fascinating narrative of a turbulent childhood and innate attraction to the art world. Having now read the book detailing the abuse he endured as a child and young man, his following statement sticks out in my mind even more (paraphrased from my poor memory):
Being angry at someone is like taking poison and expecting your enemy to die.

Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes: “Let no man take you so low as to make you hate him”

Good quotes guys! This just happened to me (which is totally out of character for me) and after I exploded within myself with anger and hatred for this person, I felt so ashamed and low for letting this person get to me and letting me feel any kind of hatred. Thanks for the reminders!
