Love Quote by Jessica Hahn

"I admire people who just do the right thing, not looking to screw people up. I love all people"

About this Quote

There is a disarming plainness to Jessica Hahn's line: morality framed less as philosophy than as basic decency, the kind you notice most when it is missing. The phrase "just do the right thing" reads like a plea for a world where ethics are not a branding strategy or a loophole hunt. Then she sharpens it with a darker, more specific enemy: people "looking to screw people up". That verb choice is blunt, almost tabloid in its punch, but it also signals lived experience. Hahn came to public attention through a scandal that turned her private life into spectacle, and the subtext here is fatigue with manipulation - by individuals, by institutions, by the media economy that profits from someone else's fallout.

"I admire" is doing quiet work, too. It's admiration as yearning: a statement of values from someone who has seen how easily power hides behind charm, credentials, or moral talk. She isn't praising heroes; she's praising the baseline, the rare competence of not causing harm.

The last sentence - "I love all people" - lands like an attempted antidote. It's expansive, even naive on purpose, as if she refuses to let cynicism have the final word. Read alongside the preceding clause, it isn't saintly; it's strategic. In a culture that demanded she be either victim or vixen, Hahn claims a third posture: bruised but open, suspicious of bad faith, still insisting on human regard as a form of self-possession.
