Dissenting

Famous quotes containing the word dissenting:

“We must continually remind students in the classroom that expression of different opinions and dissenting ideas affirms the intellectual process. We should forcefully explain that our role is not to teach them to think as we do but rather to teach them, by example, the importance of taking a stance that is rooted in rigorous engagement with the full range of ideas about a topic.”
—bell hooks (b. 1955)

“A dissenting minority feels free only when it can impose its will on the majority: what it abominates most is the dissent of the majority.”
