Famous quotes containing the word tolerance:

    “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)

    “Persecution was at least a sign of personal interest. Tolerance is composed of nine parts of apathy to one of brotherly love.”
    —Frank Moore Colby (1865–1925)
