“Don’t go to extremes. Don’t hate too much and don’t love too much. Try to live somewhere in the middle.”

Cary Grant (1904–1986) British-American film and stage actor

Love – That’s All Cary Grant Ever Thinks About (1964)
Context: Don’t go to extremes. Don’t hate too much and don’t love too much. Try to live somewhere in the middle. Hate destroys the hater. And if you love too much you get too involved and you cannot see too clearly. Love and hate are like night and day. They do exist together and you must accept them both, but you must also understand them and be in control of both emotions. It is peaceful in the middle. You won’t be hurt in the middle.

“Dexter, I love you so much. So, so much, and I probably always will. I just don't like you anymore. I'm sorry.”
