No matter how much we disagree with people, demonising them doesn't get us anywhere; it merely indicates a closed mind.

You cannot truly listen to anyone and do anything else at the same time.

I encourage people to find and use the power of their voices just as much when I do not agree with those voices as when I do agree with them.

People love talking about the banality of evil and the fact that ordinary people do bad things. I actually want to stay away from that.

It's easy to demonize from a distance.

When I was young I used to listen to other people and to try and understand what they thought and where they were coming from. I listened and didn't speak.

I think that everybody wants to be heard, and the easiest way to be the loudest is to be the hater.

Those people should not be listened to who keep saying the voice of the people is the voice of God, since the riotousness of the crowd is always very close to madness.

When you have a person in power who punishes people for speaking their mind, it's truly dangerous.

I always knew I had something to say even when nobody else wanted to listen.
