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