Famous quotes containing the words pain and/or tolerance:
“For a couple with young children, divorce seldom comes as a “solution” to stress, only as a way to end one form of pain and accept another.”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)
“Advocating the mere tolerance of difference between women is the grossest reformism. It is a total denial of the creative function of difference in our lives. Difference must be not merely tolerated, but seen as a fund of necessary polarities between which our creativity can spark like a dialectic.”
—Audre Lorde (1934–1992)
