Minority Views Quotes

“True leaders do not make choices with reference to the opinion of the majority. They make choices based on the opinion of the truth and the truth can come from either the majority or the minority!”
― Israelmore Ayivor, The Great Hand Book of Quotes

“The worst enemy of truth and freedom in our society is the compact majority. Yes, the damned, compact, liberal majority.”
― Henrik Ibsen, Oxford Ibsen Vol 6: An Enemy of the People / The Wild Duck / Rosmersholm

“Whatever one thinks of the feminist critique in particular, it underscores an important general lesson. For those who feel and are marginalized, the idea of a single national will, to be somehow revealed in a special election, is likely to be threatening. It deemphasizes—many would say silences—those in a minority who have competing [political or ideological] orientations. This point is reinforced by the fact that different groups and individuals do have diverse conceptions of the good life. To assume without doubt that a system of political interaction culminates in some unitary expression of national will to which the government must be "accountable" is to fail to grapple with the underlying societal complexity.”
― Thomas O. Sargentich, The Limits of the Parliamentary Critique of the Separation of Powers
