"Ignorance breeds fear. We fear those things we do not understand, If we do not keep that fear in check, that fear in turn will breed hatred. Because we hate those things that frighten us, If we do not keep that hatred in check, that hatred in turn will breed destruction. We want to destroy those things that we hate because they cause us to be afraid.

But guess what?
It may have been harmless, and we were just ignorant.

Take the time to sit down and talk with your adversaries. You'll learn something and they'll learn something. When two enemies are talking, they're not fighting - they're talking. Its when the talking ceases that the ground becomes fertile for violence. So keep the conversation going." - Daryl Davis

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the Earth all one's lifetime.” - Mark Twain
