Half England Hated

More From Nick Hornby

I hated the mountains and the hills, the rivers and the rain. i hated the sunsets of whatever colour, i hated its beauty and its magic and the secret i would never know. i hated its indifference and the cruelty which was part of its loveliness. above all i hated her. for she belonged to the magic and the loveliness. she had left me thirsty and all my life would be thirst and longing for what i had lost before i found it.

I hated sports. i hated sports, and i hated people who played them, and i hated people who watched them, and i hated people who didn't hate people who watched or played them.
Sports Hate Real
A manhattan lawyer who describes himself as "america`s leading expert on the militia movement" writes that he hugged his three-year-old kid the night of the oklahoma city bombing. he told junior that it happened "because they hated too much" for now, let`s accept the premise that one hundred sixty-eight humans died in oklahoma city because people "hated too much" now answer these questions if you would be so kind: did a federal sniper shoot vicki weaver in the face because he hated too much? did our government conduct the tuskegee with syphilis on black soldiers because it hated too much?
Writing Kids Night
Against the vast majority of my countrymen, even at this moment, in the name of humanity and civilization, i protest against our share in the destruction of germany. a month ago europe was a peaceful comity of nations; if an englishman killed a german, he was hanged. now, if an englishman kills a german, or if a german kills an englishman, he is a patriot, who has deserved well of his country.

It was not enough to be the last guy she kissed. i wanted to be the last one she loved. and i knew i wasn’t. i knew it, and i hated her for it. i hated her for not caring about me. i hated her for leaving that night, and i hated myself , too, not only because i let her go but because if i had been enough for her, she wouldn’t have even wanted to leave. she would have just lain with me and talked and cried, and i would have listened and kissed at her tears as they pooled in her eyes.
Eye Caring Night
The nature of the labyrinth, i scribbled into my spiral notebook, and the way out of it. this teacher rocked. i hated discussion classes. i hated talking, and i hated listening to everyone else stumble on their words and try to phrase things in the vaguest possible way so they wouldn't sound dumb, and i hated how it was all just a game of trying to figure out what the teacher wanted to hear and then saying it. i'm in class, so teach me.

Unless you turn out to be a shining and ballistic genius, then, trust me, if you want to do this then you're going to be spending the next few years doing little else. this is a thing you do at a table with a notebook and a keyboard, and there's no getting away from it. put in the hours. you don't get to turn off 'being a writer.'
Notebook Years Shining
Growing up, i'd already decided i wanted to be a beatnik. a bohemian poet, i thought. or a musician. maybe an artist. i'd dress in black turtlenecks and smoke gitanes. i'd listen to cool jazz in clubs, getting up to read devastating truths from my notebook, leaning against the microphone, cigarette dangling from my hand.
Notebook Growing Up Artist
My inspiration comes from everywhere, just walking down the street and i never know where it's going to come from, so i keep a notebook with me at all times and the only criteria for anything making it into that notebook is if it stops me in my tracks for even an instant, if it catches my eye or my ear and i just write it down.
Notebook Inspiration Writing
When i was still in prep school - 14, 15 - i started keeping notebooks, journals. i started writing, almost like landscape drawing or life drawing. i never kept a diary, i never wrote about my day and what happened to me, but i described things.
