Conflict Avoidance Quotes

“Being nice is often about avoiding conflict, letting inappropriate actions slide, or bottling up words and actions that ought to be spoken and enacted to prevent creating an uncomfortable scene. At its worst, being nice reinforces actions and attitudes that strip away human dignity.”

― Theodore John Kaczynski, Industrial Society and Its Future
