1 " It's not about whether or not someone is a bigot, but whether or not the argument which that someone is arguing is worth being a bigot about. "
― Criss Jami , Killosophy
2 " Wisdom must yield to superstition's rules,Who arms with bigot zeal the hand of fools. "
― Voltaire , Candide and The Maid of Orleans
3 " There is, after all, no moral difference between the bigot and the tolerator. They are from case to case positive or negative. One man is bigoted because he was given the sword of truth, another because he is angered in thoughtlessness; then, one man is tolerant because he was given the flag of peace, another because he is cowardly and wishes to hide all guilt. "
4 " Electing a bigot enables further bigotry. "
― DaShanne Stokes

― Debasish Mridha

7 " The scientist believes in proof without certainty, the bigot in certainty without proof. "
― Ashley Montagu , Science and Creationism
8 " The same people who wear shirts that read “fuck your feelings” and rail against “political correctness” seem to believe that there should be no social consequences for [voting for Trump]. I keep hearing calls for empathy and healing, civility and polite discourse. As if supporting a man who would fill his administration with white nationalists and misogynists is something to simply agree to disagree on.Absolutely not. You don’t get to vote for a person who brags about sexual assault and expect that the women in your life will just shrug their shoulders. You don’t get to play the victim when people unfriend you on Facebook, as if being disliked for supporting a bigot is somehow worse than the suffering that marginalized people will endure under Trump. And you certainly do not get to enjoy a performance by people of color and those in the LGBT community without remark or protest when you enact policies and stoke hatred that put those very people’s lives in danger.Being socially ostracized for supporting Trump is not an infringement of your rights, it’s a reasonable response by those of us who are disgusted, anxious, and afraid. I was recently accused by a writer of “vote shaming” – but there’s nothing wrong with being made to feel ashamed for doing something shameful. "

9 " If you think of your own mother to be the only true mother in the world and thereby start belittling people from other mothers as bastards, that makes you a bigot and a germ on the face of earth. This is an unhealthy bias, even though in your personal mental universe it may provide you extreme comfort. This is exactly what we see in the religious fundamentalists. "
10 " the only thing worse than a bigot is an “ally” who can’t stop congratulating themselves on their enlightenment. "
― Julio Alexi Genao
11 " Gossipmongers = Toxic Hearts Toxic Hearts = Bigot Souls "
― Angelica Hopes , Landscapes of a Heart, Whispers of a Soul (Speranza Odyssey Trilogy, #1)
12 " One of the biggest contradictions in self-proclaimed open-mindedness is to say that we're all one but when a true bigot comes around tell him we're all different. It's usually the case that neither side is correct. One might have the right to do something, anything, but sure enough, that doesn't mean it's right and a benefit to other people. "
13 " How it infuriates a bigot when he is forced to drag out his dark convictions! "
14 " The mind of a bigot is like the pupil of the eye the more light you pour upon it the more it will contract. "
15 " He who will not reason is a bigot he who cannot is a fool and he who dares not is a slave. "
16 " Supporting the definition of marriage as one man and one woman is not anti-gay: it is pro-traditional marriage. And if support for traditional marriage is bigotry, then Barack Obama was a bigot until just before the 2012 election. "
