There’s no hatred that can ever be satisfied either in this world or the next, and the hatred that one has for oneself is probably the one for which there is no forgiveness.
— Georges Bernanos · Monsieur Ouine, 1943

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker presents hatred as something that cannot be satisfied, then singles out self-hatred as perhaps the kind that cannot be forgiven. That second claim makes the passage darker. Turning hatred inward appears to close off the release or reconciliation that forgiveness might otherwise offer.
