Each voice carries a portion of value, no matter how unpalatable or distasteful that voice may be: no one person, government, ideology, transnational, or religious institution can own and dominate the whole.

About This Quote

As a person who values the truth, I know that each voice carries a portion of value, no matter how unpalatable or distasteful that voice may be. No one person, government, ideology, transnational, or religious institution can own and dominate the whole. I’m grateful to have the courage to speak up when I find something distasteful in my surroundings. I’m grateful for all the people who are willing to listen to my voice without criticism or rejection. And I’m grateful for those who accept what I have to say as a valid point of view.
