1 " Everyone’s pain is different,” Reece went on. “I don’t like when people compare. I don’t like when people marginalize their feelings because they think they’re not allowed to have them. Someone will always have a tougher go than you. Does that mean you’re not allowed to feel hurt? To be sad? "
― S. Walden , LoveLines (The Wilmington Saga, #1)
2 " The mentally ill frighten and embarrass us. And so we marginalize the people who most need our acceptance. What mental health needs is more sunlight, more candor, more unashamed conversation. "
― Glenn Close
3 " Unreasonable," " unrealistic," and " impractical" are all words used to marginalize a person or idea that fails to conform with conventionally expected standards. "
4 " It's not hard to marginalize people when they've already done it to themselves. "
― Seanan McGuire , Rosemary and Rue (October Daye, #1)
5 " I understand the logic behind removing toxic people from one’s life. But I also understand that many who are “toxic” are acting out of a painful past… and that to marginalize someone who’s not known much love is to validate that they don’t matter. To live in the world we desire – a world of good people, safe places – requires less fence-building and more heart-building. It requires valuing the worth of all people and loving the hurt as much as possible. "
― Renata Bowers
6 " There's no reason why children in inner cities or rural areas do not receive the same quality education or opportunities as those in suburbs or wealthy neighborhoods. If we truly believe in giving all citizens a chance to pursue happiness and pursue their goals, then we cannot continue to marginalize entire groups of people. "
