Just Jess had answered someones question in another forum with this quote. It is a quote that I had found as a bumper sticker at a boutique called HOT ToPICS. I absolutely love it and want to know where it came from. the quote is............ "IT IS BETTER TO BE HATED FOR WHO YOU ARE THEN LOVED FOR
WHO YOU ARE NOT!!!" I don't know where this came from but I love it so much cause it is the gist of my life. so much so that it is costing me 20 points to give someone 10 points in different categories to give me an answer.
thanks so much

I think it is usually attributed to Andre Gide, a French writer.

Yes, Andre Gide. Another important quote from him: "So long as we live among men, let us cherish humanity."

WHO YOU ARE NOT!!!"
i think this was in a book or movie before, not sure which, but i can tell you this much, it is used in a lot of sisterhoods. sororities for college, like a motto.
