I really needed some insight into understanding, recognizing, accepting and celebrating differences these past few days. The following quotes have really helped to open eyes when I need it the most.

“When men and women are able to respect and accept their differences then love has a chance to blossom.” – John Gray

“Our greatest strength as a human race is our ability to acknowledge our differences, our greatest weakness is our failure to embrace them.” – Judith Henderson

“I know there is strength in the differences between us. I know there is comfort where we overlap.” – Ani DiFranco

“It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept and celebrate those differences.” – Audre Lorde
