Doing so much reading, I keep coming across great quotes. Thought I’d share a few from this week:
“Civilization is the process in which one gradually increases the number of people included in the term ‘we’ or ‘us’ and at the same time decreases those labeled ‘you’ or ‘them’ until that category has no one left in it.” — Archeologist Howard Winters
“Prejudice is a burden that confuses the past, threatens the future, and renders the present inaccessible.” — Maya Angelou
“Sympathy is based on cultural similarities…. Empathy is based on accepting differences and building on these in a positive manner.” — Richard D. Lewis (from When Cultures Collide.)
