Biases Quotes

[And that physical experience is important because unless you have experience you may have inaccurate ideas about things.] Experience reveals your biases. And it reveals the holes in your thinking. And it informs you and enables you to become a much more complete and frankly, compassionate human being.”

“Building bridges takes us further than building walls.”

“When you've grown up mis-educated, surrounded by fear and hate, unaware of your privilege, lies can sound like the truth.”

“What does religious freedom mean if we would use it as a cover for hate and privilege?”
