I believe it’s the Killing Curse 2 that Harry believes he can’t use (he can’t be indifferent to killing someone.)
Right. I read linkhyrule5 as saying that 1) Harry wouldn’t hate someone enough to use Killing Curse 1 (which I disbelieve) and that 2) Harry could use Killing Curse 2 by being angry enough at Quirrel to be indifferent whether he lives or dies (which I disbelieve).
When Harry is negotiating his truce with Lucius Malfoy, Harry painstakingly tells himself why it would be OK for him to kill Lucius. Maybe Harry can also talk himself into killing Quirrell.

I think Harry will have a pretty easy time killing Quirrell, if he gets the sense that Quirrell’s continued survival would be a net negative.
