Rectification Quotes

“In the case of any person whose judgment is really deserving of confidence, how has it become so? Because he has kept his mind open to criticism of his opinions and conduct. Because it has been his practice to listen to all that could be said against him; to profit by as much of it as was just, and expound to himself, and upon occasion to others, the fallacy of what was fallacious. Because he has felt, that the only way in which a human being can make some approach to knowing the whole of a subject, is by hearing what can be said about it by persons of every variety of opinion, and studying all modes in which it can be looked at by every character of mind. No wise man ever acquired his wisdom in any mode but this; nor is it in the nature of human intellect to become wise in any other manner.”
― John Stuart Mill, On Liberty

“I know you may not trust me,” he said, “and it may take a while for you guys to view me as a friend of yours, but… I have realized my own intolerance against you guys… Well, the intolerance Capacianists and Reformists have, but… I want to make it right; I was intolerant because of Reformists’ intolerance in the past, but now I know that recreating intolerance is just revenge, and that would only continue the intolerance. I have intentions of rectifying my mistakes.”
― Lucy Carter, The Reformation
