“We must continually remind students in the classroom that expression of different opinions and dissenting ideas affirms the intellectual process.

—bell hooks (b. 1955)
“In making the great experiment of governing people by consent rather than by coercion, it is not sufficient that the party in power should have a majority. It is just as necessary that the party in power should never outrage the minority.”
