Quote by Abraham Lincoln

“There is a natural disgust in the minds of nearly all white people to the idea of indiscriminate amalgamation of the white and black races...

“We all operate in two contrasting modes, which might be called open and closed. The open mode is more relaxed, more receptive, more exploratory, more democratic, more playful and more humorous. The closed mode is the tighter, more rigid, more hierarchical, more tunnel-visioned. Most people, unfortunately spend most of their time in the closed mode.”
