“It's a shame that bigotry and hypocrisy are taking over. I wish someone would have called me directly to talk about the picture, ... We are all not terrorists. You know Pakistan, which is in Asia, not the Middle East, has always stood by America. The [U.S.] Army had a base there during the [Cold War].”
Khalid Khan
“Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.”
Maya Angelou
“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.”
Mark Twain
“Bigotry may be roughly defined as the anger of men who have no opinions.”
G. K. Chesterton
“Bigotry tries to keep truth safe in its hand with a grip that kills it.”
Rabindranath Tagore
“Superstition, bigotry and prejudice, ghosts though they are, cling tenaciously to life; they are shades armed with tooth and claw. They must be grappled with unceasingly, for it is a fateful part of human destiny that it is condemned to wage perpetual war against ghosts. A shade is not easily taken by the throat and destroyed.”
Victor Hugo
“If the obstacles of bigotry and priestcraft can be surmounted, we may hope that common sense will suffice to do everything else”
Thomas Jefferson
