Mahatma Gandhi
“Our ability to reach unity in diversity will be the beauty and the test of our civilisation.”
Mahatma Gandhi

Stephen R. Covey
“Strength lies in differences, not in similarities”
Stephen R. Covey

Roland Barthes
“I am interested in language because it wounds or seduces me.”
Roland Barthes, The Pleasure of the Text

Henry David Thoreau
“It is never too late to give up our prejudices. No way of thinking or doing, however ancient, can be trusted without proof. What everybody echoes or in silence passes by as true to-day may turn out to be falsehood to-morrow, mere smoke of opinion, which some had trusted for a cloud that would sprinkle fertilizing rain on their fields. What old people say you cannot do, you try and find that you can. Old deeds for old people, and new deeds for new.”
Henry David Thoreau

Guy de Maupassant
“Words dazzle and deceive because they are mimed by the face. But black words on a white page are the soul laid bare.”
Guy de Maupassant
