The Nine Quotes

“Hate is ignorant. Bigotry is ignorant. So is pride when it is based on things you had no control over. I won’t take responsibility, or blame, for things that I did not do. I am not bound or obligated to live a certain way because of the circumstances of my birth. Culture, tradition, and religion are like language, borders, and infrastructure. They predate me. My ancestors don’t dictate my actions because I didn’t have any say in what they did.”
― J.A. Konrath, The Nine
