Dissenting Opinions

Famous quotes containing the words dissenting and/or opinions:

“A dissenting minority feels free only when it can impose its will on the majority: what it abominates most is the dissent of the majority.”

“No two men see the world exactly alike, and different temperaments will apply in different ways a principle that they both acknowledge. The same man will, indeed, often see and judge the same things differently on different occasions: early convictions must give way to more mature ones. Nevertheless, may not the opinions that a man holds and expresses withstand all trials, if he only remains true to himself and others?”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
