You can compromise between good, better, and best, and you can compromise between bad and worse and terrible. But you can't compromise between good and evil. And now people look at the other side as a completely different kind of animal and say, 'They are taking the country down the road to purgatory.' It's complete intolerance.
Gary Ackerman

Julianna Baggott
I'm a writer of faith who worries about the intolerance of religion. I look at the past and fear we haven't learned from it.

5
Benazir Bhutto
