"The nation was not founded by habitual groupthinkers. But it stands a fair chance of being destroyed by them."

Previous Quote

And sometimes it's the very otherness of a stranger, someone who doesn't belong to our ethnic or ideological or religious group, an otherness that can repel us initially, but which can jerk us out of our habitual selfishness, and give us intonations of that sacred otherness, which is God.

— Karen Armstrong
