You get more churches burned down in the United States in the last two years than in the last hundred, because of the lack of understanding of culture and diversity and the beauty of it. – Edward James Olmos
Isn’t it amazing that we are all made in God’s image, and yet there is so much diversity among his people? – Desmond Tutu
I have been interested in phenomena involving complexity, diversity and evolution since I was a young boy. – Murray Gell-Mann
America is grappling with cultural diversity, and I just want to put a show on that represents the world in which I live. – David Alan Grier
It’s a beautiful drive across the United States. It’s so interesting. I’m a proud Canadian, and there are so many beautiful parts of Canada, but the United States also has incredible diversity in its landscape. – David Sutcliffe
When it comes to meritocracy and diversity, the symbolic is real. And that means that simple actions that reduce bias, such as blind resume or application screening, are a double win: they reduce implicit bias and they help communicate our commitment to meritocracy. – Eric Ries
There’s so much diversity of opinion out there, so ultimately you have to listen to it, put it aside, and make what you want to make. – David Twohy
We’re close to losing our essential diversity. Look at our wheat crops – we rely on a handful of grain crops and plants that we’ve refined and bred over hundreds of years. – Paul Watson
You don’t have true freedom until you allow a diversity of opinion and a diversity of voices. – Don Lemon
Diversity on the bench is critical. As practitioners, you need judges who ‘get it!’ We need judges who understand what discrimination feels like. We need judges who understand what inequality feels like. We need judges who understand the subtleties of unfair treatment and who are willing to call it out when they see it! – Debbie Wasserman Schultz
Darwin’s theory of evolution is a framework by which we understand the diversity of life on Earth. But there is no equation sitting there in Darwin’s ‘Origin of Species’ that you apply and say, ‘What is this species going to look like in 100 years or 1,000 years?’ Biology isn’t there yet with that kind of predictive precision. – Neil deGrasse Tyson
What we should celebrate more than diversity is what we do with it. How do we bring everyone in the tent and create something together? In a twenty-first century way that activates our true potential, we all need to become sworn-again. – Eric Liu
I think that this misses out on some of the interesting narrative realities, which is that it actually doesn’t work very well, that eliminating diversity is actually a really good way to make a species and its individuals less robust. – Cory Doctorow
I really enjoy women and I totally understand and applaud the diversity that they have in terms of their emotions and intellects and vulnerability and strengths. – Michael Patrick King
The study of the amino acid sequence around the disulphide bonds of the immunoglobulins was my own short-cut to the understanding of antibody diversity. – Cesar Milstein
Biological diversity is messy. It walks, it crawls, it swims, it swoops, it buzzes. But extinction is silent, and it has no voice other than our own. – Paul Hawken
To many people, ‘biodiversity’ is almost synonymous with the word ‘nature,’ and ‘nature’ brings to mind steamy forests and the big creatures that dwell there. Fair enough. But biodiversity is much more than that, for it encompasses not only the diversity of species, but also the diversity within species. – Cary Fowler
My fervent expectation is that sooner rather than later, the United States Senate will more closely reflect the rich diversity of this great country. – Edward Brooke
I’ve always found diversity more interesting than specialisation. I like mixing it up across years, within days, within weeks – that’s what stimulates me, gives me energy. – Chris Liddell
We need to give each other the space to grow, to be ourselves, to exercise our diversity. We need to give each other space so that we may both give and receive such beautiful things as ideas, openness, dignity, joy, healing, and inclusion. – Max de Pree
I think Democrats are always challenged to have a unified message, and it’s in part because our strength is our diversity as a party, but our weakness is also the fact that because we’re so diverse, we have a hard time getting on one page on message. – Martin Heinrich
We do not discuss the anatomical, physiological, and mental characteristics of man considered as an individual; but we are interested in the diversity of these traits in groups of men found in different geographical areas and in different social classes. – Franz Boas
The one process now going on that will take millions of years to correct is the loss of genetic and species diversity by the destruction of natural habitats. This is the folly our descendants are least likely to forgive us. – E. O. Wilson
If I use Facebook to stay in touch with my high school friends who are church-going Republicans, I may be getting more ideological diversity than in hanging out with secular progressives on the World Politics sub-reddit. – Ethan Zuckerman
We want the diversity of the world that is around us represented both in front of and behind the camera, and on our screens as a result. – Mira Nair
