Famous Quotes | ... members of a powerful group...

... members of a powerful group are raised to believe (however illogically) that whatever affects it will also affect them. On the other hand, members of less powerful groups are raised to believe (however illogically) that each individual can escape the group’s fate. Thus, cohesion is encouraged on the one hand, and disunity is fostered on the other. - Gloria Steinem
