"Let me ask you one thing...Ryoka boy. What are you fighting me for? Do you hate me? You shouldn't. The fact that you're here means that Orihime Inoue is safe. Judging from how you look, none of your friends are dead. If all that is true...can you really hate me from the bottom of your heart? It's impossible. You're not filled with hatred right now. You're only swinging your sword out of a sense of duty. You won't touch me like that. A fighting spirit that lacks hate is like an eagle without wings. You can't protect anything like that."
—Sosuke Aizen, Bleach
I hate it...I really hate this world. I hate this country that carves into your soul your position in society the moment you're born.
— William James Moriarty, Moriarty the Patriot
"As long as hatred exists, I shall remain impervious to attack."
— Unicron, Transformers: Armada
Unico: (after being forced to attack Kuruku) I should have know, I've never had a chance against him.
Lord Kuruku: What are you talking about? This is more than a scratch.
Unico: But I had no idea I hardly touched you. I'm sorry.
Lord Kuruku: (yells) Why are you saying that you're sorry!? Why!?
Unico: Because I feel sorry for you.
Lord Kuruku: You feel... what do you mean you feel sorry for me?
Unico: I'm sorry that you're full of... so much hate. You think that all people are your enemies but that's only because you've never had a friend.

Juggernaut: Nothing but HATE.
— X-Men
Do you hate? The most powerful hate is not born out of ignorance or prejudice or a perceived threat. Those three are fear in disguise. The fury that fuels my corps ignites from personal pain. Those whose lives were ravaged by greed, lust and control wield the crimson light. The rings replaced our damaged hearts. They beat for them. And they keep us alive only to hate. But at least we live.
— Atrocitus, Green Lantern
With blood and rage of crimson red
Ripped from a corpse so freshly dead
Together with our hellish hate
We'll burn you all - that is your fate!

You just got lucky, that's all. I could've beat you. I almost did. Next time, I'll... Oh, sure. I know what you're thinking. You're thinking there won't be a next time. You're wrong, Daredevil. Dead wrong. Prison couldn't stop me, and neither can this prison you've made out of my body... My spine is shattered. I can't feel my arms or legs. I can't even talk. But, man, can I hate. I hate you more than ever. And that'll be enough. No matter how many months and years it takes, I'm gonna put myself back together. And then I'll come for you again. Just wait...
— Bullseye, Daredevil Vol. 1, #181
Y'know, funny thing. I went looking for you a few months ago, Dex. Know why? Because I decided I was going to find and kill you in your sleep. For all you did. Because you're a sick, degenerate, sadistic son of a bitch that undoubtedly deserves it. And want to know what I found out during that? I learned about your tragic little origin. I know all about your careless drunk of a dad and prostitute of a mommy, and I know that must be the reason you're so hellbent on ruining my life. Why you murdered Elektra all those years ago, why you murdered Karen. You want me to kill you! Because you hate yourself as much you hate me, and I hate you. And by God, I want to. Believe me, Dex, I really do. But I won't! Because you are not worth the deluge of guilt that would come from that, or maybe the homicidal relief that could drive me to keep doing it. I won't be sucked into your nightmare! I won't let you ruin me. I won't give you what you want! But you wanna know what I will do? I'll give you something to remember for all that you've done. All the people you've hurt. This? (starts cutting a circle into Bullseye's forehead with a shard of glass as he screams out in pain) This is for ELEKTRA! This... (slices another circle) is for KAREN!. And the center? (jabs a hole into the middle) That's so you know just how much I #$@%ing HATE YOU!!! So, remember this, Bullseye, and when you finally muster up the courage to do what you've been dying for me to do and end your own miserable, grisly life...Aim true...Aim to kill.
"Hope isn't what keeps me going. I mostly have to get by with rage."
—Grace Choi, The Outsiders
Fan Works
This anger… This despair… this hatred she felt. She would never let it go.
—Luz after discovering her mother was murdered by the Wittebane assassins, All For Luz
I have hate. It is a burning fire inside me that I cannot quench. It is a force that I struggle at all times to bring to heel lest it bring me low in my haste. It preoccupies my thoughts and forces me to do things that I otherwise might not. It is my greatest weakness but also my greatest strength. It is not the best trait for a warrior, but it is all I have left... and it is enough.
— Emperor Skantarios Laskaris, I Am Skantarios
Because what am I, if not a product of hatred? I was born into it, and suffered because of it. And then I was shaped and fueled by it. I doubt you can imagine the number of times where the only thing that kept me going was hatred. The number of times I clung to life just to spite those who wanted me dead. The number of times I refused to give up, solely because I hated them all too much to let them win.
Georgia struggled to free herself from the pain, struggled to bring her hands or foot or knee up against the Little Red Cheese, the girl whom she hated more than anyone else in the universe.
But she was not successful.
The Shazam girl clouted her again on the other side of the jaw, then followed it up with two more blows. Georgia was on the ropes now, or would have been if there had been a ring in space for them to fight in. Another blow, and then another. Only hate was keeping the bad girl awake now. She wouldn't give in, not even while her enemy was pummeling her like a heavyweight champ. She wouldn't...

"For a good while, it worked. Lex used his skills and his brains to help out the Lexorians. But inside of a month, he found out that he just couldn't suppress those old feelings. He hated Superman. Hated him like poison. That was the only thing that was still tying him to Earth. That was the only thing that made him feel like a failure. He held it back from showing Ardora or the kid. But, like he told me himself later, he felt that if he could just kill Superman, that'd sever the last tie to Earth for him. That'd finish up that unfinished business."
— Nasthalthia Luthor, Kara of Rokyn
Film — Animated
Everyone will tell you to let it go and move on, but don't! Instead, let it fester and boil inside of you! Take these feelings and lock them away. Let them fuel your actions. Let hate be your ally, and you will be capable of wonderfully horrid things!

Your eyes are full of hate, Forty-One. That's good. Hate keeps a man alive. It gives him strength.
— Quintus Arrius, Ben-Hur (1959)
He's a font of misplaced rage. Name your cliché; Mother held him too much or not enough, last picked at kickball, late night sneaky uncle, whatever. Now he's so angry moments of levity actually cause him pain; gives him headaches. Happiness, for that gentleman, hurts.

Literature
However you look at it, in these books "power" tends to be an expression of the essential nature of the person or being whose power it is. On those occasions when we've seen Lord Foul act directly, he seems to exert the withering force of pure scorn. IMHO, that's pretty intense.
— Stephen R. Donaldson on the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant's iconic Big Bad, Lord Foul the Despiser
If you don't already want to murder me, you will before I'm through with you. The urge to kill one's superior is intrinsic to the nature of our enterprise.

THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT. FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.

IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT. FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.I could feel a strange and magnificent energy coursing up and down my arms and legs, like electrical currents. The energy was potent. Intoxicating. Familiar.
I’d experienced it before.
The energy was hate. Hate now enhanced with outrageous power. And the moral certainty that I was right. That everything I thought and everything I did was right right right!
I felt like a god.
There was nothing I couldn’t do. No one I couldn’t destroy.
— Rachel, Animorphs #48: The Return
Then he remembers—as one remembers an island of consciousness preceded and followed by long anesthesia—going forward to meet the Un-man for what seemed the thousandth time and knowing clearly that he could not fight much more. He remembers seeing the Enemy for a moment looking not like Weston but like a mandrill, and realising almost at once that this was delirium. He wavered. Then an experience that perhaps no good man can ever have in our world came over him—a torrent of perfectly unmixed and lawful hatred. The energy of hating, never before felt without some guilt, without some dim knowledge that he was failing fully to distinguish the sinner from the sin, rose into his arms and legs till he felt that they were pillars of burning blood. What was before him appeared no longer a creature of corrupted will. It was corruption itself to which will was attached only as an instrument. Ages ago it had been a Person: but the ruins of personality now survived in it only as weapons at the disposal of a furious self-exiled negation. It is perhaps difficult to understand why this filled Ransom not with horror but with a kind of joy. The joy came from finding at last what hatred was made for. As a boy with an axe rejoices on finding a tree, or a boy with a box of coloured chalks rejoices on finding a pile of perfectly white paper, so he rejoiced in the perfect congruity between his emotion and its object. Bleeding and trembling with weariness as he was, he felt that nothing was beyond his power, and when he flung himself upon the living Death, the eternal Surd in the universal mathematic, he was astonished, and yet (on a deeper level) not astonished at all, at his own strength. His arms seemed to move quicker than his thought. His hands taught him terrible things. He felt its ribs break, he heard its jaw-bone crack. The whole creature seemed to be crackling and splitting under his blows. His own pains, where it tore him, somehow failed to matter. He felt that he could so fight, so hate with a perfect hatred, for a whole year.
—Perelandra, by C. S. Lewis
Be angry, but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not make room for the devil.
— Jesus, Ephesians 4:26 (New Revised Standard Version)
Hate is the most powerful emotion. Hate destroys. Hate is eternal. Hate outlasts love; hate survives generations.
I know about hate. I know its powers. I know it what it can destroy. I know what it can kill.
I know about hate. I know its powers. I know it what it can destroy. I know what it can kill.
— Lucas Lytle from the Shivers (M. D. Spenser) novella, The Curse of the New Kid
Granny Weatherwax was often angry. She considered it one of her strong points. Genuine anger was one of the world’s great creative forces. But you had to learn how to control it. That didn’t mean you let it trickle away. It meant you dammed it, carefully, let it develop a working head, let it drown whole valleys of the mind and then, just when the whole structure was about to collapse, opened a tiny pipeline at the base and let the iron-hard stream of wrath power the turbines of revenge.
