Diversity
DIVERSITY:
We are more alike, my friend, than we are unalike.
DIVERSITY:
There [is] a myth, a pervasive myth, to the effect that if we . . . only learn to speak English well-and particularly without an accent-we would be welcomed into the American fellowship. [However,] the true test is not our speech. That accent is heard in our pigmentation, our physiognomy, our names.
DIVERSITY:
Diversity is desirable only in principle, not in practice. Long live diversity . . . as long as it conforms to my standards, my mindset, my view of life, my sense of order.
DIVERSITY:
If we are to achieve a richer culture, rich in contrasting values, we must recognize the whole gamut of human potentialities, and so we weave a less arbitrary social fabric, one in which each diverse human gift will find a fitting place.
DIVERSITY:

DIVERSITY:
The tragedy in the lives of most of us is that we go through life walking down a high-walled land with people of our own kind, the same economic situation, the same national background and education and religious outlook. And beyond those walls, all humanity lies, unknown and unseen, and untouched by our restricted and impoverished lives.
DIVERSITY:
One and Many One flame, many candles; one sky, many stars; one sea, many rivers . . .
DIVERSITY:
Diversity is the art of thinking independently together.
DIVERSITY:
The essence of the beautiful is unity in variety.
DIVERSITY:
America has believed that in differentiation, not in uniformity, lies the path of progress.
DIVERSITY:
People differ: Some object to the dancer, and others to the fan.
