Bigotry tries to keep truth safe in its hand with a grip that kills it.

- Rabindranath Tagore

A quick comment about this quote:

When I first heard this quote, I thought of a well known bible teacher who was so vehement and mean spirited about what he taught and said that regardless of how true some of the points he made were, and regardless of the evidence he had or may have had to back it up, weighty argument and points – they were all defeated merely by his bigoted approach.
