• Indifference to love or hate is sitting on the fence between the two, refusing to engage either one of them.

Mark R. Woodward
• The tragedy of love is not death or separation. How long do you think it would have been before one or other of them ceased to care? Oh, it is dreadfully bitter to look at a woman whom you have loved with all your heart and soul, so that you felt you could not bear to let her out of your sight, and realize that you would not mind if you never saw her again. The tragedy of love is indifference. Somerset Maugham

The opposite of love is apathy

• Hate is not the opposite of love; apathy is. Rollo May
• The opposite of love is apathy or hatred. Aline Brosh McKenna
• The oppposite of Love is not Hate – it’s apathy. Leo Buscaglia
• To tell the truth is an act of love. To withhold the truth is an act of hate. Or worse, apathy. Gene Kim
• The opposite of love is not hate, its apathy, when you simply don’t bother about that person! Amish Tripathi
• I have a very strong feeling that the opposite of love is not hate – it’s apathy. It’s not giving a damn. Leo Buscaglia
• Apathy — not hate — is the opposite of love. It is this apathy that leads first to the death of the psyche, and in its extreme form to the death of the body. Jane G. Goldberg
• The oppposite of love is not hate. Hate is just love gone bad. The actual oppposite of love is apathy. When you don’t care a damn as to what happens to the other person. Amish Tripathi
• The opposite of love is apathy, and hate is really the same as love-if your so consumed with hatred for someone, you might as well be loving them because your thinking about them for the same amount of time. Marilyn Manson
• …the opposite of love is not hate — it’s apathy. It’s not giving a damn. If somebody hates me, they must “feel” something … or they couldn’t possibly hate. Therefore, there’s some way in which I can get to them. Leo Buscaglia
• …the opposite of love is not hate – it’s apathy. It’s not giving a damn. If somebody hates me, they must “feel” something … or they couldn’t possibly hate. Therefore, there’s some way in which I can get to them. Leo Buscaglia
• I would rather a romantic relationship turn into contempt than turn into apathy. The passion in the extremities make it appear as though it once meant something. We grow from hot or cold, but lukewarm is the biggest insult. Criss Jami
• Hate isn’t the opposite of love, apathy is. Hating doesn’t free you from feeling anything. You have to carry it around, using every scar, every little memory like a building block. Like a stone in a wall, until you’ve created a new person, a new life that you can live with. Rasmenia Massoud
• Indifference is the worst kind of response when love is expressed. Hate is not the antithesis of love; it’s the nonexistence of feeling, a pervasive apathy. When hate is present, so is love. It’s passion gone sour and fueled by pain, but, nonetheless, it’s passion and love is apparently still alive. Yet when indifference seeps into our spirits, an emotional numbness and permitted scotoma takes the place of any passion –whether it’s love or hate – and resigns in a new state of being. M.B. Wilmot
