intolerance

I am reading a book called, " A tree grows in Brooklyn." It is set in the 1900's, and is story about survival..usually not a book that I would choose to read..but, for some reason it ended up in my basket...it has made me feel so blessed of where I came from...and where I hope to go..This one line has stuck with me..and I wanted to share it.

"Intolerance," she wrote, pressing hard on the pencil, " is a thing that causes war, pogroms, crucifixions, lynchings, and makes people cruel to little children and to each other. It is responsible for most of the viciousness, violence, terror and heart and soul breaking of the world."
