In his article, Bogen concluded: “I believe [with Wigan] that each of us has two minds in one person. There is a host of detail to be marshaled in this case.

About This Quote

In his article, Bogen concluded: “I believe [with Wigan] that each of us has two minds in one person. There is a host of detail to be marshaled in this case.” In a sense, this quote is a call for unity. Since we each have two minds in one person, we must find a way to come together and appreciate our differences rather than using what we have in common as the only thing that matters on the world stage. This quote is about how important it is to remember that we all come from different backgrounds and experiences.

If we can look past the surface and see the similarities between each other, we will discover that we are more alike than we think. People who can see beyond themselves and look at others with compassion and understanding will realize that they are more alike than they think and will come together as one.
