Frequently Asked Questions
What perspective do these intolerance quotes generally take?
All of them treat intolerance as a flaw worth naming and resisting, whether in religion, personal conviction, or everyday social behavior. None of the quotes defend intolerance; they critique it from different angles.
What does the quote about Hinduism mean in this context?
It states plainly that intolerance is alien to Hinduism, presenting tolerance as a core value of the tradition rather than commenting on any other group or belief. It's included here as a straightforward affirmation of tolerance, in the same spirit as the page's other quotes.
Is there a quote here about intolerance shown by people claiming to support tolerance?
Yes, one observes a kind of irony in seeing great intolerance expressed in the name of defending tolerance itself, a sharp point about hypocrisy that's central to how this topic approaches the subject.
How do these quotes connect intolerance to personal conviction?
One line suggests that intolerance often reveals a lack of faith in one's own cause, implying that people who are secure in their beliefs have less need to suppress disagreement. That idea links well to the Cause quotes page.
Why would someone search for quotes specifically about intolerance?
It's a precise word for describing a specific social or personal failing, rather than a vaguer term like conflict or disagreement, which makes these quotes useful for writing about tolerance, diversity, or civil discourse. Related material can also be found on the Against quotes page.
