About This Quote
It is important to be partisan and take sides in the things that mean most to you. This is what makes people who do not take sides, I hate those who are indifferent. They might say that they love all people and that all people deserve respect, but they don't take sides in the things they love most. While it's important to be open-minded and learn from everyone, partisanship is the only way to make sure you're on the side of your best values.
